Signed by Cowboys Mike Pettine to join Cowboys staff

[Rockport]

I like the sound of that, this is a welcome addition and very much needed. Sounds like a football mind indeed , we need this kind of experience in a defensive coach badly.

Unfortunately, he was being his sarcastic self.

Championship!!!!

At least CP admits he needs help with this hire.

This

LOL. The wiz kid needs his hand held.

Exactly. It’s the Jason Garrett Conceit.
You can’t just talk a good game. You have to coach a winning game.

 

[pansophy]

Can’t win for trying I guess.

A caveat here is that Pettine was defensive coordinator with the Jets only in name, and he had his most success there because the defense was actually ran by the head coach, Rex Ryan. The success of the Jets got Pettine his next job with the Bills, and the results were middling. He then had a bad head coaching stint with the Browns before returning as a middling DC with the Packers.

The numbers his defenses have had when he's been the coordinator (without Rex Ryan) don't put him in the same class with Flores. I like doing something here, and am OK with the hire, but it's not like we hired someone who used to regularly produce No. 1 defenses. The only time he did that was with the Jets, and it was Ryan's defense. Pettine was just his righthand man.

Man, I was hoping they would go big and say the heck with it and bring in Rex lol, or someone like him…Jim Schwartz….someone with a track record of running good D’s…not just assisting but actually running the thing.

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.

well this is 8 games late but i’m glad they got him out of retirement.

 

[Aven8]

How many more games until he’s calling the D is my question.

 

[zekecowboy]

I thought Schotty said the solution was in the room.

B Shottenheimer stands for BS if you know what I mean.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

I decline to comment on Mike Pettine because I honestly thought that Mike Nolan was a good hire until they started to play actual games.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Now, how about an ***'t putting our HC his tutelage?

 

[calico]

This is like when my new manager sucked at the job, so they hired a 2nd manager to smooth things over and baby sit him instead of firing him.

 

[cowboyfan44]

That's exactly how this reads to me.

You have no proof of that ever happening.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

At least CP admits he needs help with this hire.

You think it was CP.

 

[Rayman70]

the problem is we aren't good enough on defense. We lack good players. We have about 3-4 that are worthy but that's about all. We are a temu defense and staff

Thanks for the honesty.

 

[cowboyfan44]

Sounds more like he wants free money if anything i highly doubt he feels bad lol.

Some of you guys are so miserable.

 

[plasticman]

It's probably already been said but, heck, fire Parker and give the job to Pettine. He literally couldn't do any worse.

 

[DandyDon52]

This is the correct decision IMO. CP wasn't ready.

yes this is a good hire, and hopefully pettine will be the DC and parker just pretends to be DC lol.

Now lets get shotty a good vet OC ! And maybe a vet HC as his advisor.

better to keep parker and make him earn his contract $ doing something.
