The Dallas Cowboys are already sitting at a shaky 2-4, and owner Jerry Jones is talking personnel changes. He just gave reporters some insight into the decision to bring Mike Pettine aboard as a senior assistant to defensive coordinator Christian Parker, a move that’s got everyone wondering if it’s the answer.
Jerry Jones Lays Out His Reasoning For The Pettine Hire
Jones laid out his reasoning for adding Pettine to the staff, emphasizing that it just “fit.” He told reporters, “[Pettine] had a background with our coordinators and was with us in the spring.” Jones really stressed that Pettine “wanted to come help,” calling that “a pretty significant qualifier for somebody that has that kind of background with everybody involved.” For Jones, the addition was “as much about his uniqueness as it was about what we wanted to do to help us play better.”
Can One Move Turn Around a 2-4 Season?

You have to wonder if bringing in one assistant is truly the big shake-up a squad in this position actually needs right now.
So, Pettine is in the building for the Cowboys. Will this specific addition be the catalyst for the turnaround Jones and the team clearly want? We’ll all be watching to see if his presence truly helps this 2-4 team play better as the season marches on.
