Cowboys Bring Retired Coach Pettine Out of Retirement to Stabilize Struggling Defense
The Dallas Cowboys hired retired coach Mike Pettine as a senior defensive assistant to support first-year coordinator Christian Parker after a 2-3 start and a 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pettine, 60, previously worked with both Parker and head coach Brian Schottenheimer. The move aims to address a defense that ranks 26th in points allowed and 32nd in third-down efficiency, with the team facing the Green Bay Packers in Week 6.
