"After casting a wide search and interviewing several candidates, the Dallas Cowboys have their man. Dallas and the Philadelphia Eagles' passing game coordinator/DBs coach Christian Parker have agreed on a contract that will make him the Cowboys' new defensive coordinator. The Cowboys had interviewed Denver's Jim Leonhard and Minnesota's Daronte Jones, among others, but Parker made enough of an impression to win the job."
"Although only 34 years old, Parker comes over to the Cowboys as a highly-touted candidate who has helped launch the careers of many prominent NFL cornerbacks. Working under Vic Fangio has provided Parker a terrific mentor who has prepared him to take over the helm for the Cowboys' defense. So far, fans online have been ecstatic about the hire and its implications for the defense."
"Because the defense was so porous last season, Prescott and the offense were forced into shootouts against subpar offensive talent. The New York Giants, with Russell Wilson at quarterback, who later disclosed he played with a torn hamstring, took the Cowboys to overtime and scored 37 points. The Cowboys also allowed 40 points three separate times, indicating that the defense was relying on Prescott to save them on practically every possession."
