Schotty - Parker is our DC. All (defensive) decisions will go through him

[ShortRound]

Is he pushing back on Jerry?

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer when asked about DC Christian Parker moving to the coaching booth during games, which Jerry Jones said yesterday would be happening: “None of those decisions have been finalized.”“There’s a good chance Christian is on the field.”“Christian Parker is our defensive coordinator. All (defensive) decisions will go through him.”

LOL, what are they doing do, draw straws?

 

[Reality]

It makes sense that Parker should stay on the field with the addition of Mike Pettine.

That can change at some point of course, but the fastest way to get Pettine into the process now is to put him in the booth and Parker stays on the field.

With Pettine in the booth, he can relay what he sees and Parker, whom the players know and are used to working with, can stay on the field and call the defensive schemes and make adjustments.

"And I hope he still trusts me"

Seems we have a tug a war going on between Jerry and CP. Shotty being the middle man

 

[Rayman70]

This might not end well

Sounds as if Shoddy wants Parker to decide, but Jerry wants him in the booth.

The booth isn’t so bad CP.

How is the answer anything other than whatever Parker is more comfortable with? Just because it hasn’t worked doesn’t mean it can’t get worse.

Turning out to be an absolute crap show. Parker may be questioning why he took the role. Well at least he gets bigger pay check.

Get the bag CP. Get the bag.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Jerry may as well ask Ms.Irsay to hit the sidelines as well..

This off-season is gonna be entertaining .....

Jerry is gonna make himself look even more foolish that usual.

Lovers quarrel

Here's an interesting take by Voch and Broaddus, which kinda lends itself to the notion that it will still be Parker's defense, not just his in name only:



And this smells like Jerry heard them kicking it around as an idea - and of the many football things being discussed this was the one thing he could understand - and he decided to run to the media with it.

Welcome to Big D Christian Parker. Anything you say - or even don't say - can and will be used against you.

Something like 75% of the League's DCs call the game from the booth...for what appear to be obvious reasons.

 

[Vtwin]

So we've got two head coaches and two defensive coordinators.

It's not often that an organization of any kind can be both the most valuable and most dysfunctional at the same time.

Agreed 100%. This way media and fans cannot see Pettine relaying the defensive calls to Urkel.

Shotty is getting fired unless he gets us to the playoffs!

 

[Kwyn]

I’m fine with either. It’s a coaching staff decision so I would hope that whatever happens is what they feel is best.

Jerry gonna Jerry

It's week six and we don't know where our coaches are going to be on gameday yet.

I am at the point where I am wondering if they will even win another game.

Luckily for them, Tennessee is on the schedule
