"The last few weeks have made Matt Eberflus' departure from the Cowboys feel inevitable. He has served as the defensive coordinator for one of (literally speaking) the worst defenses in both franchise and NFL history. Beyond that Jerry Jones has dropped many a bread crumb in his appearances as of late that have suggested change is coming. Reports on Sunday morning were that coaching changes were expected with the focus to be on the defensive side of the ball. This isn't coming out of nowhere."
"It is unfortunate that some of the "work" involves the dismissal of people from their posts. I say this on a human level to be clear. We all know that people are fired all of the time in the NFL and that this is a business, but it is just never a comfortable thing to call for someone else to lose their job."
"There are 14 teams preparing for the playoffs while 18 others are looking in the mirror, probably not exactly the case for some, in an attempt to be a part of that former group in a year's time. The Dallas Cowboys have missed out on the proverbial tournament for two years in a row now (first time since 2019-2020) and posted losing records in them as well (first time since 2000-2002)."
Fourteen NFL teams are preparing for the playoffs while eighteen teams will enter an offseason focused on improvement. The Dallas Cowboys missed the postseason for a second consecutive year and recorded back-to-back losing seasons, creating substantial offseason work. Some of that work includes dismissing staff, an uncomfortable but common aspect of NFL business. Matt Eberflus' departure from the Cowboys increasingly appears inevitable after overseeing one of the franchise's and league's worst defenses. Owner Jerry Jones' recent comments signaled change, and reports indicated coaching adjustments with defensive emphasis. Delaying decisions, including a reported 10-to-12 day wait, risks losing targets during a competitive offseason.
