The Dallas Cowboys are working to hire Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker as their next defensive coordinator, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.
Parker, 34, has spent the past two seasons working under Vic Fangio with the NFC East-rival Eagles.
Parker will be the fourth defensive coordinator hired in Dallas in as many years.
Matt Eberflus was fired as the Cowboys' defensive coordinator after he failed to repair a defense that struggled in 2024 then allowed 30.1 points and 377 yards per game in the 2025 season.
Dallas was 30th in total defense this past season and 32nd (last) in passing defense at 251.5 yards per game. It was last in third-down defense, giving up a first down on more than 47% of third-down snaps.
The Cowboys allowed a franchise-record 511 points on 59 opponents' touchdowns and 11.9 yards per reception.
