"They used to hire defensive coordinators who had previous head coaching experience. They also tended to hire people who had some kind of connection to the organization or current head coach. Once they had done that, it always felt like Jerry Jones had a heavy hand in assembling the staff. This time it feels like the organization is giving deference to Parker in assembling his staff. It all feels... fresh."
"And based on what fans are saying, they are glad to see this new direction. It probably also helps that Parker comes from the Vic Fangio school of defense, a style that is very popular among NFL teams currently. It also helps that Fangio and his acolytes have bedeviled the Cowboys offense in recent years. If you can't beat them, join them."
Christian Parker was hired as the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator, marking a break from recent practice of hiring coordinators with prior head-coaching experience or organizational ties. The organization appears to be deferring to Parker in assembling his staff rather than exerting heavy influence. Parker’s background aligns with the Vic Fangio school of defense, a scheme currently popular across the NFL and effective against the Cowboys in recent matchups. Fan reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with 56% grading the hire an A and 35% a B, totaling 91% positive grades and signaling broad approval of the new direction.
