Chances are: Capers to Miami

[Mr. Miyagi]

The Houston Chronicle, citing sources close to Capers, reported Sunday that Dolphins coach Nick Saban had offered Capers the opportunity to run the Miami defense during their meeting last week. But on Monday a Dolphins source familiar with the visit strongly denied that Saban had made any offer to Capers.

The Dolphins likely would have an advantage in landing Capers if he decides to pursue an assistant's job. Saban and Capers are friends, and the Miami coach holds Capers in high regard. The two know each other from the time both were coaches at Kent State in the early 1970s.

The two also share the same agent, and the Dolphins have gained a reputation around the NFL for paying assistant coaches very well.

I believe Dom Capers would go to Miami before considering Buffalo.

Some guy named Richard Smith?

Seems like he was the Lions DC before Jim Bates went to the Packers.

But could you pass up Capers?

Plus Saban and Capers are friends. NFL is still a good ol boys network. How else do you think Wade Philips still has a job?

nice...

the herald says they won't fire smith. they'll probably bring capers in as some kind of "assistant head coach" if they bring him in at all.

Re: Chances are: Capers to Miami

Thats kind of stupid, its not likely Saban is going anywhere, why would capers wanna not take a HC position or at the least a DC position where he has a shot at HC.

Even if its for 1 season would seem like a waste of a year.

i think it's a case of capers knowing he has a job if he can't get one somewhere else. why spend a year out of football if you can work in some capacity?

if somebody offers him a better job, i'm guessing he takes it.
