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

[Risen Star]

The guy's in over his head. We should have kept Eberflus.

What would “confirm” that for you? A Jerry quote?

Every reporter and insider both locally a nationally is saying this is viciously a Schottenheimer decision. I seriously doubt any of us were in the room so I’m good with that.

Youngest DC ever for us
Third minority Coordinator in Cowboy history
Zero connections to anyone in the front office
Not a former HC

Everything that Jerry is known for is turned on its head

Perfectly said and youre right

Some additional clarification.

I’ve seen fans across the league think that *hiring* a minority candidate gives you comp picks

Only the team *losing* a minority coach or exec to a HC or GM role gets the pick.

Example

• Robert Saleh left San Francisco for the Jets head coaching job after the 2021 season.
• The Niners received two third round comp picks
• Saleh went *back* to SF for the 2025 season and was just hired as the Titans head coach for 2026
• The Niners *will not* get comp picks this time because the rule only rewards a team if they had the coach for two uninterrupted seasons

Close to home what if

• If Christian Parker has a miracle season and gets a HC job next season, we get nothing because he would only have one season with us
• If he gets a HC job in 2028, we *would* get two third round picks

So far there have not been any minority HC or GM hires so up to this point no one has comp picks coming

@J12B

Thank you!

Good to know.
