"No reporter or insider has come out and said it in a point-blank sort of way, but the heavy insinuation for a while has been that the Cowboys will likely do something about defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. The Cowboys have fielded one of the worst defenses in franchise history this season and the logical fall guy for that is Eberflus."
"To be clear, labeling Eberflus as purely a fall guy would be unfair. He has had a very heavy hand in the defense being as poor as it has been by refusing to change his scheme and style. That decision has certainly been costly. In the interest of fairness though, it will always be fair to note that Eberflus had his best defensive player traded away a week before the season began."
The Dallas Cowboys are expected to make coaching changes focused on the defensive side of the ball, with heavy insinuation that defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus could be targeted. The Cowboys have produced one of the worst defenses in franchise history this season, and Eberflus’s refusal to change his scheme and style has been costly. Eberflus also lost his best defensive player in a trade a week before the season began. The team added Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, though Wilson has been used sparingly. Jerry Jones acknowledged multiple recent coordinator changes and suggested change may be necessary over continuity.
