"Ansley will serve in the same capacity in Dallas as he did in Green Bay, coaching defensive backs and coordinating the pass game. It should be noted that the Packers defense was one of the best in the league, so good that defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley was hired to lead the Dolphins after interviewing for a majority of the head coach vacancies this cycle."
"For a while, Ansley was building a reputation as a top technician on the college level. The Alabama native played safety at Troy and later became a graduate assistant at Alabama under Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. When Alabama's assistant head coach, Sal Sunseri, left to run the defense for the Tennessee Volunteers, he brought Ansley along to coach defensive backs."
Christian Parker added Derrick Ansley to his Dallas defensive coaching staff as pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach. Ansley coached the Packers' pass game, contributing to one of the league's best defenses and a coaching pipeline that produced Jeff Hafley's move to the Dolphins. Ansley developed as a top technician in the Saban coaching tree after playing safety at Troy and serving as a graduate assistant at Alabama under Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. His stops include Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama (coaching Minkah Fitzpatrick and Marlon Humphrey), the Raiders, Tennessee again as defensive coordinator, and the Chargers under Brandon Staley. Ansley brings deep pattern-matching teaching experience to Dallas.
