The Dallas Cowboys have named Christian Parker as defensive coordinator.
Parker spent the last two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as the pass and defensive backs coordinator.
The 34-year-old helped cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean become star players in their second seasons.
DeJean was also very complimentary of Parker on the X platform, saying that he “would not be the player he is without coach CP”.
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he was looking for a good teacher and communicator for the role of defensive coordinator.
The team interviewed nine candidates for the position.
