New England just signed former head coach and defensive coordinator, Dom Capers as an assistant head coach . I think it's a preemptive move by the Patriots to prepare for the possible suspension of head coach Bill Belichick. Capers will take over if Belichick is suspended.
I think as time goes on, the Patriots are becoming more and more afraid that Bill Belichick is going to be suspended for at least a season if not more. It makes sense that they bring in a guy like Capers who has been a head coach and knows how to run a 3/4 defense.
