– Cowboys strike first, naming Christian Parker their new defensive coordinator. He’s coming straight from the Eagles, where he was their defensive pass-game coordinator/DB coach — a move that fuels the rivalry even more.
– Eagles tried to level the playing field by interviewing Cowboys’ offensive coordinator Klayton Adams for their next OC/play-caller, but Dallas blocked the move.
– Why the block? Parker’s interview was for a promotion, which is allowed. Adams’ interview would have been a lateral move, which teams can block if the coach is under contract.
– Parker’s promotion gives the Cowboys a fresh edge with insider knowledge of the Eagles, while Philadelphia must pivot to find a new OC. Adams helped the Eagles’ offense rank seventh in scoring this season, so the hunt won’t be easy.
– This coaching shuffle only amps up the rivalry and sets the stage for an exciting future in the division 🏈📊
Stay tuned for how these moves shape offseason plans and next year’s game plans.
