The Dallas Cowboys have one of the most dangerous and versatile defensive players in the NFL in Micah Parsons. In fact, since being drafted by Dallas in 2021, Parsons has been on a historic pace, sitting with 52.

Considered the front-runner for the job when Brian Schottenheimer was hired as Dallas Cowboys head coach, Matt Eberflus is now the team's defensive coordinator, the team announced Tuesday. Eberflus served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears for nearly three seasons before he was fired on Nov.

Eberflus is set to interview with Dallas for the DC gig today, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that meeting is expected to result in a hire. Provided that proves to be the case, this will mark a return to the Cowboys for Eberflus. He worked as the team’s linebackers coach from 2012-17.
