As part of the coaching staff changes under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker<\/a>, the Cowboys on Monday let three assistants go, two people with knowledge of the decision told The Dallas Morning News on Monday. <\/p>\n

Defensive passing game coordinator\/safeties coach Andre Curtis, secondary\/cornerbacks coach David Overstreet II and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi were let go by the organization.<\/p>\n

Curtis and Overstreet led a defensive back group that gave up the second-most touchdowns (35) in the NFL in 2025.<\/a> The secondary was hampered by injuries to both projected starting corners, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, along with safeties Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker.<\/p>\n
