This season has seen the Dallas Cowboys field one of the worst defenses that they have ever had in franchise history. At some points they were able to stop the bleeding, but for the most part it has been an absolute disaster.
Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been the target of many for criticism and blame, and it stands to reason that he will be held accountable by team leadership when it comes time to assess what happened.
Jerry Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning and noted that
Eberflus is certainly responsible, although not all on his own, and that changes are to be expected “pronto” following the season’s end.
It stands to reason that this time next week the Cowboys could be in the middle of looking for a new defensive coordinator. You do have to wonder what Jerry could be hinting at in saying that the blame is not all on Eberflus.
While that feels fair to say, could that mean other changes along the staff are coming? Maybe Eberflus is not the only staffer that Dallas could look to move on from? Dallas released Trevon Diggs on Tuesday so perhaps there is a purge coming from a roster standpoint as well.
Next week should be interesting to say the least.
