"The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their 2025 season on Sunday against the New York Giants and it did not take them long to take a serious step towards next season. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been fired. Unfortunately this move comes as no surprise as the Cowboys have fielded one of the worst defenses in franchise history across this season."
"Eberflus had a history with the Cowboys upon his hiring, and some sold it as a way to help Brian Schottenheimer ease into being a head coach for the first time. Whatever the intent behind the move was from the front office, it goes without saying that it was a disaster. The overall point here is that the Cowboys need to make a commitment and a serious one to the defensive side of the ball and its leadership."
The Dallas Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after the regular season finale against the New York Giants. The defense ranked among the worst in franchise history during the 2025 season. The team traded away its best player one week before the season, creating added difficulties for defensive performance. Eberflus had a full season to address schematic and personnel issues and failed to produce consistent improvement. Eberflus's prior relationship with the organization informed his hiring and was intended to help Brian Schottenheimer ease into a first head-coaching role. The coaching experiment proved unsuccessful. The Cowboys must commit to stable, serious defensive leadership moving forward.
