Cowboys Introduce Christian Parker as Defensive Coordinator

D210SPORTS

The Dallas Cowboys have their new defensive coordinator — and the process to get here was no small move.  After conducting more than 40 interviews and diving deep into scheme, philosophy, and leadership, Dallas lands on Christian Parker to lead the defense. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer explains why this search was more extensive, what stood out about Parker, and why he believes the Cowboys “hit a home run.”  Parker breaks down his defensive vision: a multiple front, player-driven scheme, strong front-seven identity, and a teaching-first approach built on preparation and adaptability.  This isn’t just a hire — it’s the foundation of a defensive program built for long-term success.  Watch the full press conference and hear how the Cowboys plan to build a championship-caliber defense.  #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #NFL #DC4L #CowboysDefense
