Did our GM even ask Eberflus?

Did our GM even ask Eberflus during his interview for DC about his schemes and how they might fit in with our current personnel? Any decent GM would have known to ask that.

Or maybe our GM never asked that because the owner did the interview instead and based his decision on his comfort level with the coach. In other words the owner but his own comfort level ahead the best choice based upon our current players.

So yeah, in the cowboys organization, GM jerry is overridden by owner jerry. What could go wrong?

The defense did look decent against the Eagles. Then the Giants game disaster struck.

As you know, it's match ups that are king. Giants matchup very well offensively with us. Couple that with the injury ie missing key starters in the back end, it was easy pickins. Don't ask me what Diggs was doing. Lol...but I think he needs to be playing man coverage. Also, he looks slower. I'm wondering if he's right mentally or physically. Wasn't just him, it was Elam too. Our safeties were also awful. Flus better scrap that scheme.

He is here because Jerry knows him and “how we do things around here,” much more than anything else.

They collect players and coaches, throw them together and expect it to work.

Jerry wants his HC to hold a coordinator position so they save money, and HE wants to pick the other coordinator so he has one of “his guys” around.

That’s probably flaw #1 on a long list.

As I've said before, Jerry makes most of the big decisions like a head coach would, so the Clowney signing which evidently occurred during the Giants game lol was done without consulting the "head coach" or the defensive coordinator. Ol' Schotty in his interview indicated he knew nothing about adding Clowney, but that is classic Jerry. The only role of the Dallas head coach is to be the scapegoat for Jerry's failures.

Did Parcells want T.O.? Is Wade Phillips the only head coach in NFL history to be under a gag order, forbidden by Jerry to speak to the press for months? And best of all, we are the only NFL franchise that operates this way and the only franchise that negotiates with start players in Aug/Sept instead of March/April. Lather, rinse, repeat. Rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. No wonder the Eagles fans heap praise on Jerry at their home games.

When things are so messed up for decades, it starts to feel kinda "normal" in Dallas, but we know they are far from normal. If we can actually make it to the elusive NFC championship game for the first time in three decades, I will give all the credit to Jerry and Jerry alone because he has been micromanaging this franchise to death ever since the talent Jimmy assemble aged out. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Eberflus, don't be Mike Nolan . Evolve with your players. Don't be stubborn. Find what they do well, and adapt your scheme to THEM.

You say that as if our GM would have understood the answer...

Keep in mind, Parsons was the centerpiece of this defense during the interview.

Also......word is that before Jerry agreed to trade Parsons, Schotty and Eberflus promised they could scheme the pressures we would miss. Those pressures were nowhere to be found Sunday against one of the worst O-lines, missing their best player. That concerns me more than the secondary issues.

Was there an actual interview? Probably a small chat at best. As soon as Bears fired him Broaddus was mentioning his name as the next DC.

I find that very hard to believe from any competent coach, let alone a DC whose philosophy is way below average with regards to scheming pressure. If anything one would think that Eberflus would want a front 4 that can provide pressure without needing to "scheme it" on their own and a player like Micah would be more important to his defense than the average DC's defensive scheme

He was told to take what you have, or don't take the job!!

In theory ( with alot of evidence) this was a marriage made in heaven for both of them.

A lot of Cowboys media that I follow have the opinion that Hurts cant read a zone defense at a high level, but that Wilson easily can due to his years of experience.

I think the Giants game was a combination of things. The players didn't seem to always be on the same page, and we asked guys like Dono and Sandborn to do things they aren't very good at.
