Ex-Eagles assistant Christian Parker becomes youngest defensive coordinator in Cowboys history as Dallas resets its defense
The Cowboys are clearly thinking about the future with this move. By hiring 34-year-old Christian Parker as their new defensive coordinator, Dallas is choosing fresh ideas and long-term growth over sticking with what’s familiar. Parker, now the youngest defensive coordinator in franchise history, comes over from division rival Philadelphia with a strong track record of developing defensive backs and running modern, zone-focused defenses.
