Cowboys name Christian Parker new DC, vowing to fix the defense
TL;DR
Dallas named 34-year-old Christian Parker the team's new defensive coordinator after a lengthy, exhaustive interview process that sourced him from the Eagles. He’ll implement a 3-4 look and assemble a staff aligned with Vic Fangio’s philosophy, with head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressing confidence in the fit. Parker said he’s ready to learn from the right people and help Dallas rebuild a historically weak defense for 2026 and beyond.
