"Why it will take more than just a new defensive coordinator to fix the Cowboys defense"
"When you fire your defensive coordinator (or let him walk, or let him go on a sabbatical, or whatever the Cowboys decide to do with Matt Eberflus), it's often because the entire organization failed, and not just the guy nominally responsible for the defense."
The Cowboys' defensive struggles stem from systemic organizational failures rather than a single coach's shortcomings. Coaching changes alone cannot correct roster construction, talent evaluation, and cap decisions that have left the unit undermanned or misaligned with scheme. Miscommunication between front office, head coach, and positional coaches has hindered coherent strategy and player development. Short-term fixes like a new coordinator risk repeating the same philosophical and personnel mismatches. Sustainable improvement requires aligned defensive philosophy, upgraded personnel through draft and free agency, committed investment in coaching continuity, clearer accountability, and honest roster evaluation. Culture and resource allocation must change to support long-term defensive success.
