RELEASED Cowboys fire DC Matt Eberflus

[nhcowboysfan]

Until this nonsense stops whereby the owner/GM continues to pick the coordinators in advance of hiring the HC, we will back here in the same situation in 2026 or 2027. The only person on this team who should decide the next DC is Schotty. I don't care if he chooses Mike Nolan - because then at least his coaching resume and success will be directly tied to HIS decisions - not two idiots pretending they know X's and O's better than people with actual skin in the game.

He’s near the top of my list.

How is he on team-building activities?

We have a culture here

Parcells came in after 3 straight 5 and 11 seasons and had a winning record and made the playoffs his first year here.
Coaching and culture matter.
Something Jerry has not learned after 30 years.

I think we might need to stop hiring ex-head coaches as a start. Would you want to be Schotty if they bring in any of the guys that just got/will still get canned? Saying that, I fully expect Jerry to do just that

Hes worked with Schotty before.

I agree but the positive ( for me ) was getting rid of Parsons and Diggs and getting team guys like Clark and Quinnen.

I want this defense built in their image rather than the 2 we jettisoned.

The positivity remains until the draft and FA period which determines if that positivity remains

Fair enough my friend.

Yeah but only 2 backers are really the traditional off ball types. Your outside backers are just smaller DEs. Honestly clowney, EZ, and an early draft pick would give you a pretty good 3-4 front with the DTs we already have in house.

David Bailey as the opposite OLB.

I hear he prefers pickleball to ping pong.

Mary you are proving you’ve been a fan for a long time!

That's one of the nicest ways I've ever heard someone call a woman old. That's why you're a mod around here. Good hire, Reality!

 

[Majic]

If they could somehow get Flores it would be the best move since they got Bill Parcells over 20 years ago.

No dancing this summer?

LOL. I don't consider myself "old". But, I am a bit more "mature" than others here.

 

[Momanpr100]

4 coordinators in 4 seasons. Somebody won't take accountability, though.

Actually 3 in 3 years. We had Dan for 2 years. But yea same thing lol

 

[nhcowboysfan]

Well to be fair….it is the Raiders. Lower than us….

True, but I believe that most assistants taking on these jobs hope that they will turn the team around and be the next Bill Belichick.

 

[TwentyOne]

One season too late.

 

[Risen Star]

If it's me, I'm making the new DC hire on how that coach envisions Kenneth Murray's role in his defense. What's the plan? How do you maximize the talent?

 

[RonnieT24]

I'm actually shocked they did it that fast

I'm shocked it took this long.. I was ready to fire him in October.

 

[MarcusRock]

LOL. I don't consider myself "old". But, I am a bit more "mature" than others here.

The way Bob was talking I was wondering if he was going to ask if he could visit your old folks home in between one of your 15 daily naps. Lol.

He’s near the top of my list.

There will be a line out the door to interview with him. Sean Payton knows how to put a good staff together. Jim Leonhard is the real deal.

[The Natural]

Al Harris knew the guys we had on defense and how Jerry resists getting real talent in FA

Harris would have failed badly here too with this roster and was smart to leave

We’ll never know.
