"All signs are pointing to Parker having free rein to build his defensive staff on his terms, as the Cowboys have already parted ways with several key defensive assistants, most notably former defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton, who joined the Tennessee Titans as their new defensive line coach/run game coordinator. Whitecotten threw his name in the hat as a potential defensive coordinator hire, so many wondered if retaining him would be something the Cowboys organization would try to push onto Parker, or if the team's new coach would be calling the shots. Now, we know."
"Smith joins the Cowboys with a proven track record of developing young players. During his three seasons with the Cardinals, Smith was responsible for the rapid growth of young cornerbacks Will Johnson, Max Melton, and Garrett Williams, all of whom were Day 2 draft investments over the last three years. With Smith's help, the Cardinals took a strong step forward in developing their young secondary."
Christian Parker was hired as the Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator and appears to have freedom to assemble his preferred defensive staff. The Cowboys have already parted ways with several defensive assistants, including Aaron Whitecotton, Andre Curtis, Dave Borgonzi, and David Overstreet. Aaron Whitecotton joined the Tennessee Titans as defensive line coach/run game coordinator after being considered for a coordinator role. Parker's first reported hire is former Arizona Cardinals cornerbacks coach Ryan Smith. Smith has a track record of developing young cornerbacks in the NFL and coached at Northwestern and Virginia Tech, producing NFL-drafted players.
