"Now, Christian Parker seems to be taking a similar approach to his defensive staff. A day after the Cowboys added Marcus Dixon to coach the defensive line, they landed Chidera Uzo-Diribe to coach the outside linebackers, a position the franchise has never had on their staff. In landing these two coaches, Parker has now found two individuals with strong backgrounds who can help fortify this Dallas defense in the trenches."
"Dixon is an exciting hire for two main reasons. He has direct ties to Parker, as the two served together on the Broncos staff for two seasons, which means Dixon is familiar with the Vic Fangio scheme that Parker has cut his teeth in. But Dixon also spent the past two years in Minnesota, working under defensive coordinator Brian Flores to create one of the best defenses in the league over that span."
Football begins in the trenches, and coaches who prioritize line play shape team success. Klayton Adams moved from offensive line coach to offensive coordinator and paired with Conor Riley, who developed Kansas State linemen like Cooper Beebe. Christian Parker is applying similar trench-focused thinking to defense by adding Marcus Dixon as defensive line coach and Chidera Uzo-Diribe as outside linebackers coach. Both hires bring strong backgrounds in run defense and pass-rush work. Dixon has Broncos ties to Parker and experience under Brian Flores with the Vikings, with a focus on defensive-line techniques and stopping the run alongside pass-rush specialists.
