Dallas' new defensive coordinator carries a well-earned reputation for safe playcalling. Whether or not that's a winning formula depends on more than just him.
Following his Bears ouster, Eberflus is back in the NFL, this time as defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. That means he’s effectively the lieutenant of (bizarre) first-year head coaching hire Brian Schottenheimer. And that means he’s in a position to give Schottenheimer advice about what NOT to do as a head coach.
Matt Eberflus is hopping right back into coaching as defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys after getting fired by Chicago.
Eberflus discussed personnel — from Osa Odighizuwa and Mazi Smith to Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland — in addressing his plans for next season.
