After suffering their second consecutive losing season, the Dallas Cowboys have reportedly made changes to their coaching staff.
The Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus on Tuesday after one season, according to multiple reports. Eberflus’ unit was one of the worst in football this season.
The Cowboys defense gave up the most points per game this season (30.1) and the third most yards per game (377). Only the Washington Commanders (384) and Cincinnati Bengals (382.1) allowed more yards per game than the Cowboys.

With the firing of Eberflus, the Cowboys move on to their fourth different defensive coordinator in four seasons. Dan Quinn left after the 2023 season to take over as head coach of the Commanders.
Mike Zimmer was the defensive coordinator in 2024, but was not retained after the team fired head coach Mike McCarthy.

Before being hired as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator, Eberflus was the head coach of the Chicago Bears. The 55-year-old went 14-32 in three seasons and became the first head coach fired by the Bears midseason.
The Cowboys, who finished 7-9-1, could have made the playoffs if their defense was even an average unit. Their offense was one of the best in the sport, as they had the seventh-best scoring offense (27.7 points per game) and the second-most yards per game (391.6) in the NFL, trailing only the Los Angeles Rams (394.6).

Micah Parsons’ surprising trade to the Green Bay Packers was a blow to the defense. The unit improved when they acquired linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams at the trade deadline, but it wasn’t enough to turn them into a formidable unit.
