Signed by Cowboys Mike Pettine to join Cowboys staff

[stilltheguru]

I hope Parker turns it around this year. He doesn't seem like a person that's hard to root for like so many other current and former players/coaches.

I got this straight off the Dallas Cowboys website and I'm not putting a link on it I know we're not supposed to but this is real Now I wondering how much input this guy's gonna have is this a good thing is is this gonna make some of y'all calm down a little bit?

Brian Schottenheimer promised the Dallas Cowboys would look at everything following the loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, and he kept his word, adding one of the most respected defensive minds to the coaching staff.

Mike Pettine has been added as senior defensive assistant , a former defensive coordinator of the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and the Green Bay Packers, and he most recently worked with the Minnesota Vikings to help Brian Flores form one of the more formidable defenses in the league.

"Had a chance to work with Pettine for a number of years, along with the Jets, and he's going to be here in a role to support everything that [Christian Parker] is leading and guiding, and we are really, really excited," Schottenheimer said on Monday. "They worked together in Green Bay, and this is actually something the C.P. and I talked about when we first hired him."
Schottenheimer then went into more detail about how much Parker was in on the decision to have such a respected, veteran defensive mind as another form of counsel in his first year as an NFL defensive coordinator.

So what is everyone's thought on this? He seems to have an extensive resume and lots of experience. I can't imagine it will hurt, I mean we can't get much worse? Right?

We saw a problem and are trying to fox it. Anyone who argues against it is just being negative.

They should’ve done this from the beginning. We’ll see how much it helps in the middle of the season. The incoming guy isn’t really familiar with the players and how they’ve been performing individually.

That's fair but hes got 5 games worth of film. Its a start.

 

[Risen Star]

Why's he available then?

By choice, hater.

 

[shabazz]

I thought Schotty said the solution was in the room.

Yes, but apparently it was a room in the Pettine home

There goes my plan to start Jordan Love in fantasy football this week

Have you seen our players, START EM!! They could hire every d coordinator it wouldn't help

 

[Rockport]

He retired, Mickey. Or maybe he wanted to take a few years off to charge his batteries. Either way I don't think he put his name in all the hats for available coaches.

They tried to bring him onboard before the season but he wanted to stay retired. According to the HC today.

Good! I like this

They did try to get him but he had a previous commitment directing "Breakin' 3: Electric Bugaloo".

And we're damn lucky to finally get him

Im on board

 

[Rockport]

I respect that but im wondering if thr Hire was forced in him. Im for it either way.

The HC explains the whole thing in today’s presser.

Long-time NFL coach Mike Pettine is joining the Cowboys defensive staff, reuniting with coordinator Christian Parker. As the Packers defensive coordinator form 2018-20, Pettine gave Parker his first job in the NFL in 2019. When hired, Parker attempted to talk Pettine out of retirement. Now six weeks into the season, Parker has a veteran coach as a sounding board.

Not a bad move. Hopefully it works/helps.

LOL. The wiz kid needs his hand held.

At least they're trying to do something, rather than Jerry pretending he's a genius.

 

[Rockport]

Why is that funny?? Oh, I forgot, you've probably never actually stepped on a football field....LOL. The Wiz poster doesn't actually understand the way the game works. Not the first time this happens and not the last. We've been crying for change and now many actually give you a like for your stupid joke. Maybe I'll get one....lol

Good job.

 

[Austin 3-16]

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

 

[Risen Star]

There's something about a Breaking News header on one of your threads that puts a little extra pep in your step.

 

[stiletto]

Got to love being a fan of a team that makes it up as they go. Obviously the owners have no clue what they need, even after almost 40 years.

 

[Runwildboys]

The HC explains the whole thing in today’s presser.

Kinda sounded like he was trying not to use the phrase "bail Parker out".

I thought Schotty said the solution was in the room.

He meant the nation.

This team is always behind when it comes to stuff like this.
