Mike Pettine reports directly to Schotty!

He might, I don't know. I don't think he was that great of a DC lol.

But the reporting structure doesn't really matter.
Yes it does. The rare players that don't care who are at the top, will just do their jobs. We clearly don't have those players here.

This is going to cause even more issues. Dysfunctional.
 
Yeah it's perfectly normal for a defensive assistant to report to the head coach rather than his own coordinator. That in no way undermines Parker.
You are trying to be sarcastic, but you already know you are right.

When a team does bring in a veteran unaffiliated or retired coach as an assistant they typically do report to the head coach

The Cowboys have done it many times as have numerous other teams.
