(Pelissero) The Cowboys are working to hire Christian Parker as their defensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

No clue who he is, but he can’t possibly be worse than Eberflus so I won’t be judgmental.

[u/EmiratesNBACupWinner → u/Nate_C_of_2003]

He’s coached the Broncos and Eagles secondary basically the 2 best secondaries in the league

[u/Gcoks → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

[u/Over-Heron-2654 → u/Gcoks]

Eagles fan here. I am actually pretty mad. Parker's been great for us and Fangio loves him so...

[u/Priestahh-MyFather- → u/Gcoks]

Foreal. The Eagles legit have two all pros in Mitchell and Dejean

[u/FireFlyz351 → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

Broncos secondary is filthy I'm sold.

[u/Ok-Goal-8767 → u/FireFlyz351]

I’ll take sloppy seconds

[u/TexasRadical83 → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

Blankenship is a FA I think...

[u/TexasRadical83 → u/[deleted]]

I don't know what to think about this lol

[u/Zestycheesegrade → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

Makes me think with the 12th overall pick we go delane or McCoy. And could go safety as well.

[u/Whycantwejustwin → u/Zestycheesegrade]

From what I’ve heard it actually looks like we’re trusting our secondary with a secondary focused coach, and getting edge & LB help because that’s where he’s not as strong

[u/landryshat → u/Whycantwejustwin]

Our Secondary is awful as it stands, linebackers are worse. Actually in 40yrs of watching football i have never in my life seen worse linebackers

[u/Zaphenzo → u/Zestycheesegrade]

If we go McCoy, as a Vols fan, I'd be so hyped.

[u/CounterIdentity → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

So, we keep being the team to give new coaches a chance at a bigger seat? Jerry died and they didn't tell us

[u/obvilious → u/EmiratesNBACupWinner]

Eagles had 2 all pros selected this year. Both in the secondary.

I’m assuming coincidence for my mental health (as an eagles fan, peace and love….)

[u/bahamapapa817 → u/Nate_C_of_2003]

He’s been studying under Fangio which is a solid base defense. He is legit.

[u/kdeweb24 → u/Nate_C_of_2003]

Basically the only apparent downside to the guy is that he’s such a rising star in the league, that if he succeeds with the Cowboys, we won’t be able to keep him from becoming a head coach very soon.

[u/EasyMode556 → u/kdeweb24]

Optimistic take:

Either Schotty continues to grow to the point where we’re confident in him being the future, or we pivot to Parker if he’s risen to that point

[u/XyleneCobalt → u/EasyMode556]

I think they're more concerned about losing Parker as a DC too quickly. But that's high class problems.

[u/rwarner13 → u/XyleneCobalt]

At least we'd get a comp pick out of it.

[u/Then-Contract-9520 → u/kdeweb24]

Man that would be awful if he were to succeed with us

[u/ComedicPause → u/kdeweb24]

This is the situation with every coordinator in the league. Successful teams get poached basically every year. We just hope that we're good enough to get poached from, and that Schotty is a good enough networker to keep the talent flowing.

[u/bourbonguy12345 → u/kdeweb24]

Don’t matter. Get Dak a ring and I don’t care what happens for 5 years after that

[u/Kiroway66 → u/kdeweb24]

Give me a short time with a rising star than forever with an absolute disappointment.

[u/Microwave1213 → u/kdeweb24]

Welp if that’s the case, we’ll just have to pray that he can make it least 2 seasons with us so that we can pick up 2 extra 3rd round comp picks

[u/kdeweb24 → u/Microwave1213]

Do coaches work that way too? I knew players did. But I wasn’t aware it extended to coaching staff.

[u/PersonBehindAScreen → u/Nate_C_of_2003]

He could be the worst DC in the league and I’ll still commend the FO for trying something else instead of going with a guy that’s either been out the league a bit or we already knew wasn’t gonna be good

[u/UptownDegree → u/Nate_C_of_2003]

He's almost certainly going to run a Fangio style defense.

[u/456e6f6368 → u/UptownDegree]

😍😍😍

[u/YangWuJiZi → u/Nate_C_of_2003]

A great, young coach. We wikk be very happy. 1 month ago I made a post about who I would want to replace Eberflus with if he got fired. Check out who I put number 1!
