Signed by Cowboys Cowboys hire Eagles secondary coach Christian Parker as DC

I went to Bruce Harper football camp - always had a soft spot.
As a kid, my best friends dad was our pee wee coach and he was from NY. In our league the Cowboys were taken so we were the Jets for three years. So, I’d end up with jets stickers and stuff.

Since they never even remotely competed with the Cowboys, I’ve followed them all these years.
 
I have no issue with anybody that still has confidence in Jerry hiring process but I watched this guy invite Deion over his house for a plate of Hog Maws to satisfy The Rule and then proceeds to ignore the Top HC candidates only to hire a man thats never done the job AND who no other team desired either.

Its not a "hate whomever Jerry hires"....its a "I Don't trust the mans hiring process"

Experienced successful, strong-personalities", need not apply.
From everything I’ve read that doesn’t describe Parker or Clayton Adam’s. These are guys with bright futures who demand a certain standard. It seems different this time but we won’t know until we see games played.
 
Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Osa, Bland, Overshown…..you have two first round picks. This team is gonna look different. There’s a foundation there he can work with.
Kenny Clark is washed. Overshown is a walking injury report. OSA has underperformed. We have one good player. That’s it. Literally
 
Honestly, if nothing else, he might be good for knowing the system? Plus, if we can get Dean and Phillips as well, we'd have quite the infusion of talent. Or if we just get Blankenship and Dean from Philly, that would naturally make our team better. Plus, as much as Blankenship struggled this year, he might still be an upgrade over what we've got now lol.
I don't think Blankenship is an improvement over what we have at all. We should set our sights higher or just stick with what we have.
 
Sadly neither the Eagles secondary or passing game were strengths. Consider me cautious about this hire.

Clark is far from washed. He performed well overall and was better after Quinnen Williams got here. Clark is nowhere near the player he was in his prime but he is still a quality starter.
 

Yes, yesterday I was coming to the conclusion that the Cowboys were going to sign Gannon and was not going to be happy with that. But this also means the Giants probably are getting Jim Leonhard.

Man the Giants just leveled up in coaching. Though my second option out of the ones we interviewed was Christian Parker.

The Adams hire is more justified because the offense was already good and he knew the system.......but the defense?

It needs total overhaul and id rather have a top defensive coordinator with experience in a complete rebuild
