My Take
Dom Capers is, to me, the consummate builder. Being the only head coach to launch two different NFL expansion franchises in their inaugural seasons is a distinction that reveals enormous patience and organizational vision, because there's nothing harder than creating a defensive identity from nothing. I'm always drawn to people whose greatness lies in foundations rather than trophies, and Capers fits that mold perfectly. The fact that he's still contributing as a senior defensive assistant decades on tells me he's a lifelong football mind who simply loves the work. That kind of quiet, structural brilliance earns far more of my admiration than flashier resumes.
