No decision has been made on the future of Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, but insiders are already connecting the team to potential replacements.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, current Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is a name to “keep an eye on” if the Packers move on from Capers.

“There are real questions about whether 67-year-old Dom Capers will retire or be asked to retire. This could be the year,” Rapoport wrote on NFL.com Saturday. “If that happens, keep an eye on Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who is a free agent.”

The Packers will likely need to move fast. Teams across the league will start making coaching changes on Monday, and Fangio – who coordinated a top defense in San Francisco and rebuilt Chicago’s defense over the last few years – will be in demand if the Bears fire coach John Fox and remake the coaching staff.

Fangio’s contract expires after the 2017 season, meaning he’ll have an opportunity to leave Chicago regardless of what the Bears do with Fox.

Fangio and the Packers are an easy connection based on his experience in Capers’ system and his proven track record of success coordinating defenses.

Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel identified Fangio as one of the top candidates to be the next defensive coordinator in Green Bay if the Packers move on from Capers, as many expect.

Over the last seven years, Fangio has coordinated five defenses finishing in the top 10 in both points and yards allowed. For three straight years (2011-13) in San Francisco, Fangio led a top-three scoring defense.

Fangio was Capers’ defensive coordinator from 1995-98 in Carolina and from 2002-05 in Houston.

The manner of exit for Capers could determine whether or not Fangio is interested in the job. It’s possible he could be hesitant to take over in Green Bay if Capers, a long-time coaching ally, is fired. It’s equally possible that Capers would serve as the connecting force between Fangio and the Packers if he decides to retire.
