Christian Parker on his coaching style

[Kwyn]

This was a Schotty hire. Jerry and Stephen had no idea who this guy was until he walked into the building, I can almost guarantee it.

I agree. Jerry barely knows our active roster

 

[Praxit]

..hell ya, I like his groove. Talks business and accountability.

Unlike Eberjoke. ....."Well ya, ......and ah, yeah... will get something going, yeah. .. and umm..."

 

[jazzcat22]

I need to hear his voice, i'll get off work in a bit and i'll give him the coog seal of the deal or not lol jk

I already talked to him. He asked who is this coog guy that wants everyone’s thoughts.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Definitely on board with the hire. Let’s hope he brings that attacking style defense and advocates from some FA signings and a stud draftee like Styles.

I need to hear his voice,

coog this ain't no 1-900 number lad

 

[Rock423]

Good to hear. This team has put way too much emphasis on measurables, while missing out on better football players.

I wish I could give this post 100 likes. Well said

 

[Whyjerry]

Here comes the marketing machine. Parker is a genius. Get ready.

Well, he's seen what our defense was so I'm sure he's keen on getting some players in here.

this is the , Rope a Dope JJ loves to play. Did we expect it? Yes, yes we did. Is this a bad choice? only if Jerry commits and lets him grow, if he bumps him in a short time, wasted. we ll see how it plays out. i like this pick if we stick to it and let him grow with us.

Work??? Damn, your boss must be clueless.....

 

[Carson]

Eagles forums and sub are *not* happy. lol

Pack fans too. They had thought he was their guy

Even the NFL subreddit, most of whom hates us, is disappointed that we got him.

Can’t be true because this forum hates it

 

[Kwyn]

I like this dude. I like him a lot.

And I know some don’t like the zone, but it’s about personnel and coaching. There are multiple ways to run a defense.

If anyone is interested in debating that, I have some thoughts about how both man and cover are highly successful with examples.

Here’s a good bit about Fangio style defenses.

Put on your bug repellent because we’re going into the nasty green jungle on this.

This link at bleeding green is a Fangio 101. It will show you what we might expect.

I like seeing how our players might fit in on a particular scheme and with Fangio, it’s easy because we all have some degree of familiarity with the Eagles players. I like his base because our weakest position group, LB, only needs a MLB to fit. We can make Clowney and EZ edge LBs and run our three tackles all at the same time

See this at the 10 min mark (a click should hit the timestamp) to see how each of the coverages work and then a breakdown of each with Eagles personnel.

He can coach DBs, can he coach everyone else?

There’s a site that won’t link here but if you google Tyler Dunne The Philadelphia Eagles' secret weapon is Christian Parker

It’s from last year

The line that caught my attention

Last season, the Eagles finished 31st against the pass. This season, they were No. 1.
Last season, the Eagles finished 30th in points allowed (25.2). This second, they were second (17.8).

That is great news for us

 

[RonWashington]

I can’t count how many busted coverages the Cowboys suffered or lack of help from the safety position this year . I don’t think this DC will tolerate this game to game week after week . On this defensive staff DL and LB are going to be fascinating to see where the Cowboys go .

As a student, he was a political science major and Parker was particularly intrigued by the Socratic method, by the idea of presentingand arguing ideas in a room full of people. Richmond’s small class sizes were perfect for lively dialogue and debate. The exact opposite of a lecture hall that puts you to sleep and/or has you leaving for a bagel 20 minutes in. He learned both the power of persuasion and listening to opposing “vantage points.” Above all, Parker relished the constant communication.

So as he swiftly rose up the coaching ranks, that’s exactly how he decided to run his own meetings.

“Guys can’t get comfortable — nobody’s silent — they don’t know when they’re getting cold-called on,” Parker says. “We keep the conversations rolling that way. Obviously, sometimes it’s just me talking, but I’m trying to bounce ideas off of guys to let them talk and express how they see things and how they feel about ‘em. It leads to the chemistry of the group.”

Ty. I'll check it out

Parker welcomes all corners, all safeties to visit his office any time. He has only one condition: You better come in hot with questions. You better be ready to talk — a lot. Nobody is allowed to waltz in empty-handed. He wants both his office and his DB meeting room resembling those poli-sci classes at Richmond. Whether it’s an element of the gameplan… an adjustment… a clue… something they noticed on film, the defensive backs are constantly bringing up specifics to serve as a launching pad into a lengthy discussion.

That way, they’re filling gaps and dotting i’s and cleaning things up 24/7.

“Because you don’t know what guys know until you hear ‘em talk about it,” Parker says. “Guys can easily slip through the cracks if you’re not asking ‘em to speak in front of their teammates. And I think it also builds trust in the room because those guys know that their teammate knows what they know.”
