Did Dom Capers have the same personality as Fox/Rivera?

Capers could adapt. Usually we owned the second half (when we had talent, at least). Later on, boneheaded moves by the front office brought in ill-advised talent, but Capers still adjusted, switching to a 4-3 to match the talent.

I honestly think he over analyzed the game, likely outsmarted himself and that led to his demise.

and by outsmarting himself, I don't mean a Shula "they'll never see a run up the belly coming!"

Capers was 30-34 as coach of the panthers with a 12-4 season. Ron is 28-30 with a 12-4 season. The results are strikingly similar.

As is Fox's pre-Peyton .500 record.

Playing not to lose wins you approximately half the games, if you have a decent amount of talent. Beat the bad teams, win the ones you're supposed to, never take the risks necessary to beat good/better teams.

Poor Rusty...

 

Remember the little note pad Capers would pull out and write players names down on it durning the games?  It was like he was the hall monitor or something.

This is why even if Rivera is canned, as long as Richardon is around I think we'll get the same kind of coach with a play not to lose philosophy.

Seifert was a defensive guy just like all our other head coaches. He won 3 Super Bowls as DC of the 49ers then 2 more as head coach. Per the San Francisco Chronicle this year:

"(as 49ers head coach) Seifert fueled the team’s success with his defensive schemes ... On the defensive side, Seifert was part of the NFL trend that established situation substitution. It prompted former linebacker Keena Turner to say that what Seifert was doing defensively approached what Bill Walsh did on the offensive side."

 

 

That's so funny that I forgot that. Weird too, the team was ALL offense when he was here with ZERO defense.

 

Really is so odd that Richardson has hired nothing but former defensive coordinators as coaches.

Thats kinda hard to tell because before Hurney we did technically have one defensive coach and one offensive coach. Hurney was the one that chose Fox and its was clear he wanted Harbaugh before Rivera. Still the way things panned out we got Rivera who was prob the best candidate of the pool of Hurney picks but thats not saying much.

I don't believe Rivera and Fox are similar personalities at all.

We've never had an offensive coach. Who are you thinking of?
