Should Eberflus be fired?

[jusdre]

Short answer....YES.

 

[Cowboys_Leeds_UK]

Not learning from the same old mistakes. So its a yes from me.

 

[JW82]

Yes. They are brutal and I cannot believe that every guy who has a history of pass rushing, all forgot how to play.

The question surely needs to be considered by the Cowboys. We as fans have no insight into how he’s doing other than the results on the field which have been abysmal. Is it mostly coaching or is it mostly the players? Without being there every day with the team and observing first hand, we as fans have no idea how he is with the players.

I’d be interesting to hear @Ranching thoughts on the topic.

yes - not sure why he hasnt been yet

 

[jrumann59]

Yes fire him but after the season, you fire him now they either run with a modified version of the system they have or they scrap it and introduce a 4th system for the remainder of the season.

The Coordinators don't pay the players. They don't sign the contracts. So no, they don't bring in anybody..... You asked a different question than what you stated... Does the Coordinators have a say as to which players to keep? They can suggest it to Jerry but the ultimate decision is Jerry's... How is that boloney?

Have you watched the Draft Room every year? Maybe you should. The Coordinators definitely have a say as to who Jerry ultimately decides to draft or not, so don't tell me they don't have a say behind closed doors as to which players to keep or not on the 53 man roster!!!

They will wait until it's too late. It should be obvious right now that he isn't the right guy for the job.

Terrible fit..

Not sure who would have been worse, but he's the worst I've ever seen in Dallas.

His defense is just embarrassing.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Has to be given a full season to see if he can turn it around. Right now, I agree he shouldn't be back, but it is still very early.

How long did we wait on Nolan to be fired? He failed the smell test early just like Eberflus.

Most likely, we would just promote from within to finish out the season, so I think we're probably just as well off in seeing if these players can settle into this scheme. Both of our best corners are trying to round into form off injury and missing the one we drafted, and we're missing our best linebacker. Those things might help some, but we seem to be talent deficient and the only way to fix that is with more talent.

This defense has NFL players on it

Just because they are paid does not mean they are NFL caliber players.

 

[Pass2Run]

It can't possibly get any worse than Uberpus.

IMO you are exactly right. THIS is the problem. They will keep him employed with this hope things get better. Well, by that time we might be 3-5-1 with a tough schedule coming. I realize you cant bring in a new DC mid season-- but send Eberflus packing, pick whoever you think will be best to finish the year. Yeah you're rolling the dice with a guy clearly not ready--but currently changes are needed. Fire Eberflus, send a message to the team. It's disgusting how this defense is holding back this team.

 

[Cmac]

......not yet.....but he should be on a short leash. Hope he brought coffee & donuts to the coaches' room this morning.

Fantastic idea. Promote from within. We need a scheme change.

Need a new pair of linebackers and better safeties

 

[aberdeencowboy]

The linebackers are terrible but the zone defense that he plays is so easy to read and pick apart

 

[TheCritic]

I don't have a problem with ME as a coach. We just don't have elite talent. The defense will get better as the season progresses, but that will take time. Just as last year Zim's D didn't get going until October.

After 1 season

 

[Mobinvans]

Yes

We aren’t a zone team
