CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Dom Capers, the original head coach of the Carolina Panthers from 1995-98, will rejoin the team as a senior defensive consultant to new defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, the team announced Friday night.
He will join a staff being put together by new coach Frank Reich, the original starting quarterback of the Panthers under Capers.
Carolina also announced it is bringing back former NFL quarterback Josh McCown to be the team's quarterbacks coach.
Capers, 72, was senior defensive consultant under Evero at Denver this past season. The two also worked together in 2016 at Green Bay, where Capers was the defensive coordinator and Evero a defensive quality control coach.
