At his re-introductory press conference on Wednesday, Capers was donning an interesting hairstyle. In 1975 Capers was hired by the University of Hawaii as the team's new defensive backs coach. In his two seasons with the school the team went 9-13 under head coach Larry Price. Capers joins a star-studded coaching staff in Carolina that is headlined by head coach Frank Reich and former Broncos' defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

It’s honestly not a big deal if the guy wants to have unnaturally dark hair that makes him look like a real-life Lego figure. Hopefully, Capers is doing it because he wants to and not because he thinks he’s fooling anyone into thinking he’s much younger than he is. Because, for one thing, people don’t really care that much how old Dom Capers is. Dominick Serna (AKA Dom Dom) has become known for his passion to educate and inspire other hairstylists. He is dedicated to making high-quality hair tools and accessories accessible to all.

Head coaching record

With a new staff in town, the Panthers will almost certainly have a new look next season although it's unclear whether the roster overhaul will lead to as many jokes as what took place on Wednesday afternoon. After his single season at San Jose State, Capers was hired by the University of California in 1978 for two seasons by new head coach Roger Theder. The team finished 6-5 and 7-5 during Capers time with the school.

WHO IS DOM DOM?

Capers is the only head coach to lead two different NFL expansion teams during their first seasons. In 1995, Capers was hired as the head coach of one of the latest expansion team, the Carolina Panthers. In their inaugural season the Panthers won seven games, setting the record for most by an expansion team in their first season. The team success carried on through the next season as the Panthers won their last seven games to finish the season 12-4 and winning the NFC West. The team advanced to the NFC Championship game, eventually being defeated by the Green Bay Packers.

A defensive assistant for most of his coaching career, Capers held his first defensive coordinator position with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1992. He left Pittsburgh to become the Panthers head coach in 1995, where he guided the team to a 7–9 record, the best finish for an NFL expansion franchise's inaugural season. The next year, Capers led the Panthers to a division title and the NFC Championship Game, making them the youngest NFL expansion franchise to accomplish both. Following two consecutive losing records, he was fired after the 1998 season. After his head coaching stint, he joined the Jacksonville Jaguars (who also joined the league in 1995) as the team's new defensive coordinator under head coach Tom Coughlin.

He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Kent State University and the University of Washington. Later he was an assistant coach at Hawaii, San Jose State, University of California, Berkeley, Tennessee, and Ohio State. Dom Capers was the very first head coach in the history of the Carolina Panthers. After Frank Reich was hired as the new head coach, he decided to bring Capers back with the organization as a defensive assistant.

He won the AP’s Coach of the Year in the 1996 season but was let go by the organization after the 1998 season. He continued to coach in the NFL, and last year he was an assistant coach with the Broncos. On January 29, 2021, the Detroit Lions announced that Capers will join their coaching staff as a senior defensive assistant. Twitter users attacked Dom Capers, the new defensive assistant coach for the Carolina Panthers after his press conference revealed a new jet-black hairstyle. And he’s eager to getting started working for head coach Frank Reich, the Panthers starting quarterback to open their inaugural season. During the playoff run his team had a pick 6 in the final 3 playoff games that year; Divisional Round (Williams), Championship game (Raji), and in Super Bowl XLV (Collins).

After being let go from the Panthers, he served as the defensive coordinator with the Jacksonville Jaguars until becoming the head coach of the expansion Houston Texans on January 21, 2001. After starting out 4–12 (2002) and 5–11 (2003) in his first two seasons in Houston, the Texans posted a 7–9 mark in 2004. However, the Texans dropped to a record of 2–14 in 2005 and Capers was fired.

Playing Career

The Panthers then added Ejiro Evero as the defensive coordinator, a guy who had plenty of interest in the head coaching market and was one of the hottest names available. Former Los Angeles Rams assistant Thomas Brown also came over to be the offensive coordinator, and there is hope in Carolina again. Capers was named an assistant coach on head coach Frank Reich‘s staff in the 2023 off-season. Capers will serve as a mentor to defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero as well as Reich. Evero and Capers were on the same coaching staff for the Denver Broncos in the 2022 season. After his single season with the Patriots, he was hired by the Green Bay Packers as he returned to his role as defensive coordinator.

They’ll be installing a base 3-4 defense, but plan to play to the strengths of their players. As you could imagine, Twitter did its thing as people from all over shared their reactions to Dom Capers’ hairstyle. The Carlos Boozer-Dom Capers comparisons are fun to talk about, but at least the veteran assistant is enjoying his time back with the Panthers.

In 1986, with the USFL now-defunct, Capers followed Mora to the NFL when Mora accepted the head coaching job from the New Orleans Saints. Capers was hired as the team's defensive backs coach, the same position he held under Mora with the Stars. During Capers six year tenure with the team (until 1991), the team made the playoffs three times (the first three berths in franchise history). Capers' early success with Carolina would result in him serving as the inaugural head coach of the Texans from 2002 to 2005, although he was unable to lead them to a winning record or playoff berth.

At the conclusion of the season, Capers was named Coordinator of the Year by Sporting News as his coaching helped Charles Woodson to be named NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Packers continued the success going into the next season as they won the Super Bowl for the 2010 season. The Carolina Panthers have brought back Dom Capers as a senior defensive assistant. Capers served as the head coach of the Houston Texans from 2002 to 2005 and otherwise has bounced around various defensive units in the league.
