Signed by Cowboys Mike Pettine to join Cowboys staff

what’s that old cliche…. too many cooks in the kitchen? yeah good luck

Yeah, I don't think spoiling this soup is something we need to worry about.

....watch cowboys pull off 6 winning streak ..lol.

Defense leading the way.

Putting the training wheels back on the bike...?

Feels like the FO could be admitting that maybe Christian Parker is overwhelmed by the situation.

I love this!! What's wrong with addressing/correcting a known problem mid-season? This is the equivalent of watching the first two quarters, and making critical adjustments at halftime that could result in a win. Winning teams make the necessary adjustments to win games. Even if it doesn't yield good results, and least they're trying, instead of just piling all the blame on Parker. As we get several of our defense/secondary players back, this could be a really good move for the team, and I like it.

I take everyones word that its a good move, but it doesn't change my disgust with this head coach

We should have another coach come in and help him.

This hire is not exactly a screaming endorsement for CP. Quite the opposite.

Who cares. As long as he helps.

 

[Whyjerry]

So how does Parker be the boss? This franchise is such a joke. Fire or demote Parker!

 

[Ozone22]

You can bring in all the help in the world. Players still need to make tackles and be in the correct spot to make the stops.

This might rescue our season. I don't care who gets the DC title. Pettine will straighten this defense out.

Perhaps Pettine will be part of the Edge rotation?

CP is just the type of young, progressive ,innovative coach to do it too.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

But that's the exact opposite of the Fangio philosophy.

Not sure if you can really do a 180 like that after a whole offseason, training camp, and four games of telling the players, "This is what we do, this is what we believe in"... and then flip that completely.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Why's he available then?

All 31 other teams didn’t do their homework.

 

[QuestForSix]

Pettine is a great, great defensive coach. On board with this

 

[QuestForSix]

We have lots of great talent on defense. Scheme is a huge issue. Pettine should really help. Quinnen, Barham, Downs, JPJ are great building blocks for him to play with

 

[slick325]

Daron Bland's confidence is probably at its lowest point. Cover zero is gonna have him targeted immediately.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Read the OP post folks. Parker had wanted this all along.

Just a shame it took this long to happen. And it sounds like he knew he needed help. Which I do appreciate.

 

[CowboyStar88]

I’d like to see if he could help salvage Parker, but we will wait and see.

 

[Bigrandrn]

I thought Schotty said the solution was in the room.

Scotty don’t know what he’s talking about.
