"After a lengthy interview process where the Cowboys deviated from their usual candidate pool, Schottenheimer settled on Christian Parker, the 34-year old defensive pass-game coordinator from the Eagles. A staunch disciple of Vic Fangio, one of the league's most successful defensive minds over the past two decades, Parker came highly regarded around the league."
"Parker handles himself with a quiet confidence and his approach to defensive football is a polar opposite of Eberflus. He stresses flexibility and adaptability, and he quoted philosophers as much as he did football coaches. He fits the bill of the mad scientist when it comes to X's and O's, but Parker has also been praised for his communication skills, with some even suggesting he was Fangio's secret weapon in Philadelphia."
"Since being hired, Parker has assembled a defensive coaching staff that offers a wide variety of experiences, rather than just being guys Parker was already friends with. The Cowboys also got more active in free agency,"
