Signed by Cowboys Mike Pettine to join Cowboys staff

[McKDaddy]

Is Parker going to pay his salary?

If he can't do the job he said he could do for that salary, seems fair that he contribute to the payroll.

 

[AyeAtey]

This season is about patience and perseverance.

One step forward 2 steps back.

But I hope it happens sooner than later, this season.

 

[McKDaddy]

If you're not familiar with Pettine, he's pretty much the Bill Walsh of defense.

I thought that was Parker??

 

[dupree89]

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

they could hire The Coog and he couldn't do any worse

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Why would someone who is retired have any motivation to assist to their resume?

You and the funky bunch are reaching here

Because he likes CP and thinks he can help him? They do have a connection.

 

[Blitzen]

I thought Schotty said the solution was in the room.

He is now.

 

[Aven8]

My bet is he’s in the booth on the headset with CP the entire game

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

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

Well, Pettine was a HC at one point. Honestly, he might be Schotty's replacement. We know how Jerry likes to hire from within, and Pettine is technically within.

 

[Blitzen]

He did spend time with Ray Lewis, that's something.

He coached Ray Lewis, that's not nothing.

“Hey Ray, go Lewis the QB.” Got it Coach, where’s my knife?

 

[morat1959]

Let’s not hire a qualified DC on the front end. What exactly were his qualifications coming in? I think I know and it ain’t about being qualified.

 

[Doomsday77]

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

So you are saying we didn't hire the right guy?

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.

I heard Romo is available for an offensive boost

 

[Risen Star]

 

[Doomsday77]

I'm not going to apologize for saying, this reeks of a bad hire. What in the name of football was on this guy's resume that warranted hiring him to be the next DC for the Dallas Cowboys? Six games into the season and we have admitted he wasn't ready. Nobody took into account the players we already had on the team and did the ol' okie doke and hired someone that doesn't fit what we have. Inexcusable. No, you don't get 'points' for hiring someone to hold his hand for the rest of the season. OMG.

 

[CashMan]

Well, Pettine was a HC at one point. Honestly, he might be Schotty's replacement. We know how Jerry likes to hire from within, and Pettine is technically within.

I really thought he was brought in to be the unofficial DC, but you might be right. The question is, is there someone to take over the offense?

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

What is interesting about this is how the media reported about practices and how the defense was at times dominating the offense. The offense is still producing but the defense has been pathetic. I think Parker never really called the defense before and Pettine will help in that regard. Hard to be negative about the move.

So they hired the guy that had beef with Brian Flores who has had the best defense in the NFL the last 3 years.

There is a reason Flores got him out of Minny.

This is not going to work. It is a BS save face move.

 

[morat1959]

Other coaches are scared to challenge Jerry on a dumb hire. You can’t tell me there aren’t coaches or FO people within this organization who didn’t see this before the hire. Total Jerry move. Throwing crap against the wall and hope something sticks. This entire circus is dysfunctional!

If you're not familiar with Pettine, he's pretty much the Bill Walsh of defense.

 

[deerhunter11]

Unfortunately, he was being his sarcastic self.

This guy has coached Clark and Gary while with Green Bay. Sounds like a sharp mind ,he could bring a spark to the front 7 that helps Parker's secondary. Atleast This organization is trying to get better, this is a positive for sure. I just hope some body can help this defense get better.
