Cowboys Poised for Defensive Staff Changes as Eberflus' Future Dims

Public signals from leadership diverge on whether Matt Eberflus will return.

Overview

  • NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Dallas is expected to make coaching changes focused on the defense, with Matt Eberflus not expected back.
  • Jerry Jones said it is inaccurate to reduce the issue to evaluating Eberflus and declined to commit to his future either way.
  • Stephen Jones said the team must establish a defensive identity after failing to generate takeaways and limit explosive plays.
  • Dallas ended with a 34-17 loss to the Giants, allowing 34 points and 380 yards, and finished with the franchise’s first season averaging 30 points allowed per game.
  • The Cowboys ranked 30th in total defense and last in scoring and pass defense, and media have floated Brian Flores as a possible target, which remains speculative.
