The Cowboys are pushing their search for candidates to fill out Christian Parker's staff.
The Dallas Cowboys didn't waste any time in searching for Matt Eberflus' replacement as defensive coordinator.
After a search that spanned nine candidates over a couple of weeks, Dallas landed Christian Parker, who was the Philadelphia Eagles' passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach.
So that was one big item off Brian Schottenheimer and Co.'s to-do list.
The next step is to fill out Parker's staff.
“The goal would be by the weekend if we could,” Cowboys' COO Stephen Jones said on when Parker's staff could be finalized. “Could it linger? It could, but we've had a lot of great visits, and we've got a lot of guys who are going to be coming in who've made the next step."
Well, it appears one of those who has made the next step is Zach Orr.
The Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator for the past two seasons, Orr interviewed for Dallas' defensive coordinator role, which was ultimately given to Parker.
Per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Orr is set to interview for a staff position under Parker.
The move to interview Orr for the defensive coordinator position was met with positive reactions from Cowboys Nation, and now that Dallas is bringing Orr back for another interview, suggests Parkers sees him as part of his staff.
There could've been a potential stumbling block, though.
Orr has interviewed for the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator position.
But on Thursday morning - just before Orr is to interview - our Mike Fisher notes that the Chargers are going another direction with the hire.
So Orr won't be working under Jim Harbaugh. The path is cleared for him to come here ... to his adopted home area of Dallas.
Orr, just 33, played high school football in DeSoto and then at the University of North Texas before playing in the NFL.
Parker seems to be assembling a very young staff. Consider the interviewees we know about ...
In addition to Parker being only 34, assistant candidates are: Marcus Dixon at 41, Shane Bowen at 39, Denzel Martin at 35 and Ronell Williams at 33.
If Orr were to come to The Star, it would be a significant hiring for Parker in his first coordinator role.
Orr's defenses in Baltimore have been good at times.
In 2024, his defense was the league's best against the run, allowing 80.9 yards per game, which will interest Dallas given its woes. In 2025, that number jumped to 106.6, but it was still good enough for Baltimore to rank in the top 10.
The Cowboys would take that in a heartbeat.
In 2024, Orr's unit hunted the quarterback, too, another trait the Cowboys would love, as they finished second in the league in sacks with 54, which dropped to 30 in 2025 (30th), with injuries again hurting the Ravens.
So, on face value, there is a lot to like about Orr, and yes, it is just an interview, but the Cowboys might be wise to bring him home.
