Eberflus was brought in by Rob Ryan after he was hired as the team's new DC for the Cowboys several years ago. He served as the team's linebacker coach. Ryan's defensive scheme was more of a hybrid, two gap, 3-4 system. After Ryan was replaced by Monte Kiffin, Eberflus was retained on the defensive staff. Working under Kiffin/Marinelli, he was exposed to playing their 4-3 alignment. Eberflus rose up the ranks within the Cowboy Organization, eventually becoming the passing coordinator for the defense before he became the Colts new DC last year. With great success in turning around Indy's Defense, Eberflus is a hot Head Coaching Candidate. You would think he is a person of interest within the Cowboy Organization if they decided to not retain Jason Garrett.
