Longtime NFL Coach Comes Out of Retirement to Rescue Christian Parker’s Defense Amid Cowboys’ Struggles

Christian Parker had his priorities clear when he arrived in Dallas. He wanted to turn the defense around in his first year as a defensive coordinator. But when your defense is leaking over 25 points every game, you need to call in reinforcements. And it looks like that’s what the Cowboys have done. In a desperate bid to turn their season around, Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer have brought Mike Pettine out of retirement, the same guy Pettine wanted all those weeks ago. And when we look at the move, it’s not just Pettine’s addition that has us feeling optimistic.
