Brian Schottenheimer: Mike Pettine will report to me, work from booth during games
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker called Mike Pettine his “right-hand man,” but Pettine will report directly to head coach Brian Schottenheimer, not Parker.
- Schottenheimer described Pettine as a “sounding board” working closely with the coaching staff to help improve the defense’s performance.
- Pettine has been focusing on film analysis and will spend more time in the booth during games, while Parker will continue coaching from the field.
- The coaching dynamics and Pettine’s role may become less significant if the Cowboys’ defense improves and the team wins consistently; otherwise, there could be calls for a complete overhaul.
