"Derrick Ansley has agreed to terms with the Cowboys, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. This news marks an expected to end to his Packers tenure. Ansley worked as Green Bay's defensive pass-game coordinator for each of the past two years. The team brought in Bobby Babich to fill that role earlier this week, however. Ansley has not needed to wait long to find his next opportunity. The 44-year-old will join Ryan Smith in Dallas, per Archer."
"In 2023, Ansley was promoted to defensive coordinator of the Chargers. That move followed two years as a defensive backs coach with the Bolts but proved to be short-lived. Brandon Staley's midseason firing paved the way for a slew of changes on the sidelines and the eventual arrival of Jim Harbaugh. That led Ansley - who has also worked as a defensive coordinator at the college level (Tennessee in 2020 and '21) - to Green Bay."
Derrick Ansley agreed to terms with the Dallas Cowboys to be defensive pass-game coordinator and defensive backs coach for 2026. He leaves the Green Bay Packers after two seasons as their defensive pass-game coordinator, a role already filled by Bobby Babich. Ansley previously served as the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator in 2023 after two years as the Chargers' defensive backs coach and earlier worked as Tennessee's college defensive coordinator in 2020–21. He will work alongside Ryan Smith, who will operate as the Cowboys' secondary coach. The Cowboys ranked last in NFL pass defense this season; improvement in 2026 could boost Ansley's future coordinator prospects.
