Christian Parker is changing his vantage point as Dallas prepares to visit Green Bay. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Tuesday, October 13, that the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator will call games from the coaches’ booth rather than the sideline.
Jones announced the move during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, according to the team’s website. The Cowboys are 2–3 after losing 24–16 to Tampa Bay on October 8, and the team reported Tuesday that the defense ranked 31st in yards allowed at 395.4 per game.
The change keeps play-calling with Parker, who is in his first season as a defensive coordinator. It follows Monday’s addition of senior defensive assistant Mike Pettine, whose role is to support Parker and the defense.
