The Dallas Cowboys are doing something different with Christian Parker. Parker is young. He is an outsider (in terms of not having a history with the Cowboys front office). It sounds silly, but Parker comes from a team that has been highly successful and the Cowboys have not exactly tried to pick fruit from those trees before. Simply put, just about everything that has led the Cowboys to him from a process standpoint has been foreign to the team for a long time.<\/p>\n
These are the reasons that so many people are excited about Parker. His difference represents a deviation from the norm. No one is saying that any of these specific qualities are better than other versions of them (older coaches are also very successful, being young doesn\u2019t automatically translate to success just to list an example). The celebration around the Cowboys doing something different is that the Cowboys did something different. If it doesn\u2019t work we are experienced at coming to terms with that, but at least it will have not worked because it didn\u2019t work and not because it was the same old song and dance.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this means there is a lot of pressure riding on the experiment.<\/p>\n
So much is relying on Christian Parker working out<\/p>\n
It feels unfair to call the Cowboys hiring Christian Parker an experiment. He is a more than worthy candidate to be the team\u2019s defensive coordinator. Hiring a coach and someone to run your defense is a very serious thing. There is nothing experimental about it in a literal sense.<\/p>\n
But those differences that he carries? The deviations from the norm that he represents? What if it doesn\u2019t work out with him?<\/p>\n
Is it not possible that the Cowboys could, as anyone would to be honest, look at how they tried things in a different way and saw them fail only to learn the lesson that different was bad? This is an exaggerated way of looking at this idea to be clear, but it is why more than just the defense improving is relying on Christian Parker thriving as the team\u2019s defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys are doing something different with Christian Parker.
