The Cowboys hired former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator Tuesday for his second stint on the Dallas staff.
Eberflus returned to the Cowboys two months after the Bears fired him 12 games into his third season, just a day after he botched a timeout against Detroit late in a sixth consecutive loss.
Eberflus was 14-32 with Chicago.
The Bears hired Eberflus after his four-year stint as defensive coordinator in Indianapolis. He had spent the previous seven seasons as a linebackers coach with the Cowboys, who eventually added passing game coordinator duties.
Eberflus is joining the staff of coach Brian Schottenheimer, who was hired last week to replace Mike McCarthy.
Schottenheimer is planning to call the offensive plays.
The 54-year-old Eberflus spent 17 years as a college assistant before joining the Cleveland Browns as a linebackers coach in 2009.
Former Bears coach Matt Eberflus is headed back to familiar territory as he joins the Dallas Cowboys as their new defensive coordinator. Eberflus, who previously served as the Cowboys’ linebackers coach from 2011-2017, is set to bring his expertise and leadership to the team once again.
During his time with the Bears, Eberflus made a significant impact on the team’s defense, helping them become one of the top units in the league. His innovative approach and ability to develop players have earned him a reputation as one of the top defensive minds in the NFL.
Cowboys fans can look forward to Eberflus implementing his aggressive defensive scheme and instilling a winning mentality in the team. With his proven track record of success, there’s no doubt that Eberflus will be a valuable asset to the Cowboys as they strive for greatness in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for more updates on Eberflus and the Cowboys as they prepare for the 2022 season. #DallasCowboys #MattEberflus #DefensiveCoordinator #NFL #Football #NBC5DallasFortWorth
