Parker to move from field to coaches booth

[thunderpimp91]

Does this actually mean what it appears a lot of people on here think it means?

They said before the season started that they weren’t sure Parker was going to be on the sidelines or in the booth.

Also, this doesn’t mean that Pettine is going to even be in the stadium on game days.

“A lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth can put its pants on.” Mark Twain

This will be a thing to keep an eye on. If Pettine is down on the field with players hes probably your real DC....If hes in the box with CP its probably more of a true advisory role.

Typical Cowboy discipline . Instead of being shown the door , he has to stand in the corner for forty-five minutes and repeat " I shalt not screw up , I shalt not screw up , I shalt not screw up ............

The Booth is where DC & OC belong.
So now get a coach to help BS with the plays, put one in the booth.

I’m thinking it was probably Pettine’s idea. From what I recall, he often was in the booth himself, so it’s probably what he’s advised Parker he would do as DC.

Jerry.

They did the same thing to Monti Kiffen.

 

[DuncanIso]

I suspect there is a trap door to the trash compactor in the booth.

Jerry seems to be done with the kid.

 

[DuncanIso]

He’s overwhelmed.

Not surprising..

And the more I think about it.. Why would you give a D Coordinator spot to someone who has never done it when you are dumpster diving on defense?

We should’ve saw this coming but I ate the cheese.

A lot of the CZ fell for the Parker hiring.

Well it actually makes sense that they will both be in the booth. Think about the logistics of it. This way Petine can help Parker make the calls without the media being all over seeing patine come up to Parker on the sideline

I thought he could do that just by them two being on the headset together. And then my question is if Parker's not down on the field who's relaying this information to the players and other coaches trying to keep everybody on the same page. So that's that's all I'm interested in seeing is how does this communication work?

While many others were laughing and knew exactly what was coming.

Perhaps he should try it from further away...like from his garage

 

[CWR]

I was wondering how long it would be before he did that.

Its the natural progression, goes well with players only meetings.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Who said that Petine would even be in the stadium on game days?

Wow, you’re so funny….not.

Something tells me you are a blushing fan of Parker.....

 

[nobody]

To be fair, a lot of our successful defenses were called from the booth...as was our SB offenses.

[CT Dal Fan]

Wow, I think I watched this movie before.

 

[zrinkill]

That will do it.

 

[zrinkill]

All these keyboard warriors . Do you realize how it makes you look?

Ironic

I just didn't think he'd be worse than Eberflus. Even getting this defense to rank in the low 20s was going to be good enough for me.

Turns out I was wrong in thinking Parker could even be just below average.

 

[NDGAEDE]

This is like an all time bad week for Parker (at least, optically).

1) Players only meeting
2) An experienced DC hired to 'advise'
3) Moved to the booth

I don't believe they'd fire him mid-season, but the pieces on the board are not looking good for him.

Lots of offensive coordinators do it. DCs not as much

I recall seeing Quinn in the booth at times while he was the DC here.
