One year after flaming out in Chicago, Matt Eberflus is out in Dallas—an ending that should make Bears fans ever more thankful the franchise turned the page.

Although the players might have remained quiet, one insider says the Dallas Cowboys locker room was ready for a new defensive coordinator.

Two people with knowledge of the decision say the Dallas Cowboys have fired first-year defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after they allowed the most points and intercepted the fewest passes in franchise history.

Eberflus' lone season as Dallas' defensive coordinator was a disaster, peeling another wasted year from Dak Prescott's prime.

While their former head coach was just fired, Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles are riding high for the Chicago Bears.

The Cowboys finished last in the NFL in both scoring and passing defense, wasting one of Dak Prescott's best seasons.

The Dallas Cowboys will be searching for their fourth defensive coordinator in four years after firing Matt Eberflus.

It was a historically bad defensive season for Dallas. After Sunday’s 34–17 loss to the Giants, the Cowboys officially gave up 511 points this season— this amount is the most points given up by a defense in franchise history.

The Cowboys are once again looking for a new defensive coordinator and comments made by Brian Schottenheimer point toward a Broncos coach.
