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

[JBS]

It's not stupid sir. It's smart. Neither of these guys are "retreads" so your argument is dubious. Between the two, Jones seems like the better guy. Single, film-room junkie, lives for football...actually was defensive coordinator at different points (except at NFL level). Parker has very little experience. And that matters at some point. The last thing the Cowboys need is a coordinator "learning on the job"...for a team that wants to win NOW.

I'm willing to give the man a chance but Jones was probably the better hire. From his interview notes..."future defensive mastermind". There was a "comfortability" factor for Jerry Jones reportedly. And when you keep making important decisions with comfort and not competence in mind, you continue to hamstring your team.

It’s not smart at all. You are basing your entire opinion on the fact that jones has experience as a dc and Parker doesn’t. That is more than just stupid. Not to mention , the experience he does have , he sucked doing his job. Well done, very intelligent way to separate the two. I’m not even arguing that Parker is better. I’m arguing that your stance is stupid.

I like what I see and hear

Everyone should.

 

[kramskoi]

probably would have gone for Jones; but the more I dig up about Parker the more hopeful I feel; not really optimism but hope

Well I'm willing to give the young buck a chance. I'm hoping like heck he succeeds. Just saying that this seems like more of a comfort hire for the Jones clan.

Dude. You can research his career. It's not hard. Less than a minute. Compare the two side-by-side in then honestly tell me that Jones doesn't have more experience...even being a DC at various points in his career.

Notes from the interview:

Very Impressive
Very Detailed
Matter of time until defensive mastermind
Impressed
Efficient Communicator
Confident
Surprise of the search

Hahahah. Yes, your one minute of research is the best way to decipher which candidate is best. You are very impressive.

 

[Risen Star]

He will find things a bit different without Surtain and the two Eagles first rounders.

McCoy, Revel, Bland is elite.

Admit it before you stagger home.

Silly. He has more experience PERIOD...including coaching secondaries. You can put their careers side by side. Jones is more experienced...and was thought a future defensive mastermind from his interview.

What you say doesn't even make any damn sense. I know that if I needed a medical procedure done I'd be going with the guy with the most experience doing the procedure.

Yes, he has more experience. Nobody is arguing that. Because you think that makes him a better candidate for the job is why your take is stupid.

Experience is one component. It’s not the end all be all. Eberflus has more experience than both. Let’s stick with him. What a smart idea.

What makes you think it was a minute search Sherlock??? Just because I said you could research his history in a minute. Context and reading between the lines ain't your strong suit is it?

 

[Wildcat711]

The most important question...

Is he any good in a foxhole?

Jones is also 14 years older

I would hope he has more years in

Matt Eberflus has more experience than Jones. He’s 55. He’s been a head coach

Was he “the one to get?”

 

[Risen Star]

He lacks the fire of a Jonathan Gannon.

The extent of your intellectual prowess is revealed by the content of your drivel...ending with pejoratives. Not something I haven't encountered too many times to count even with a calculator.

 

[StuckMojo]

Daronte Jones offered a LOT more experience...having been defensive coordinator at different points in his development/career. So if it was between Parker and Jones...Jones was hands down the guy to get. Parker has never been DC at any level, so what you have is a guy learning on the job for a team ready to win NOW.

I'm hoping for the best but there is something to be said for experience.

How is this team ready to win now? Missed the last two playoffs

 

[Sydla]

It’s a point

What’s a point?

 

[Alexander]

McCoy, Revel, Bland is elite.

Admit it before you stagger home.

How is McCoy elite? And why are we discussing players that are yet on the team? Why are we discussing a Tennessee cornerback? Did we not learn from the Dwayne Goodrich situation? Answer me!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This idea that experience is the end all be all us stupid.

Especially at DC. I’ve seen the most experienced get 40 points on them.
