Cowboys fire coordinator Matt Eberflus after defensive disaster
NY Post
The Cowboys will look for yet another new coordinator to try to fix their defense.
Matt Eberflus was fired as the team’s defensive coordinator Tuesday morning after just one season, according to multiple reports, meaning Dallas is in need of its fourth defensive coordinator in four seasons.
“Having known Matt Eberflus for decades now, we have tremendous respect and appreciation for him as a coach and a person. After reviewing and discussing the results of our defensive performance this season, though, it was clear that change is needed,” owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. “This is the first step in that process and we will continue that review as it applies to reaching our much higher expectations.”
The 55-year-old was dealt a surprising blow right before the season when Jones traded Micah Parsons to the Packers, and Dallas ended up allowing the most points per game in the NFL at 30.1.
Their 511 points allowed were the most in team history.
Their 377 yards allowed per game were the third-most in the league, and their 251.5 yards passing allowed per game were the most in the NFL.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
