"On Saturday afternoon it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys have informed their defensive assistants, those who worked under previous defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, that they have permission to look for jobs elsewhere and they can interview with new defensive coordinator Christian Parker. By definition it is an innocuous thing. The staffers who report to the defensive coordinator are not guaranteed to hold the jobs that they did with the new coordinator that they did with the old."
"Acknowledging that people losing their jobs is never a good thing, and that we wish all of these staffers the best of luck in their future endeavors whatever they hold, this is not an innocuous or mundane thing when it comes to the Cowboys. Consider that the previous defensive coordinator who we have mentioned in Matt Eberflus partly got the job because of his past relationship with the Cowboys front office."
The Dallas Cowboys informed defensive assistants who worked under Matt Eberflus that they may seek other jobs and may interview with newly hired defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Position coaches are not guaranteed retention when coordinators change, which is ordinarily an innocuous administrative move. The decision carries unusual weight for the Cowboys because of past hiring patterns, including Eberflus's hiring tied to relationships with the front office, a head coach retained from the previous regime, and previous instances of hiring coordinators with prior team ties. Christian Parker has been granted full autonomy, representing an atypical organizational shift for the franchise.
