Rapoport also said there are a few internal candidates such as Brian Gutekunst, Eliot Wolf, and Russ Ball.
Also earlier today, reports surfaced that Capers was fired after last night's loss in Detroit after another disappointing season for the packers defense, which finished 22nd in the NFL, inside linebackers coach Scott McCurley and defensive line coach Mike Trgovac have also been let go according to ESPN.
