Matt Eberflus‘ name quickly emerged as one to watch closely regarding the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator vacancy. With Mike Zimmer known to be out of the picture, the former Bears head coach is indeed on track to fill that position.
Eberflus is set to interview with Dallas for the DC gig today, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that meeting is expected to result in a hire. Provided that proves to be the case, this will mark a return to the Cowboys for Eberflus. He worked as the team’s linebackers coach from 2012-17.
When the news broke of former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer being promoted to head coach, Eberflus was named as the team’s top target for the defensive coordinator position. Dallas has since conducted one other DC interview (Andre Curtis, who worked under Eberflus with the Bears and is a candidate to land a role on the Cowboys’ staff). A request was also recently made to speak with Dolphins outside linebackers coach Ryan Crow, but given this latest update it remains to be seen if that meeting will actually take place.
More to come…
