FRISCO, Texas -- With Matt Eberflus leaving, the Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement with Kris Richard to be their defensive passing game coordinator, sources confirm.
Richard spent the previous three seasons as the Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator but was a surprise dismissal after the 2017 season by head coach Pete Carroll. Eberflus, the Cowboys linebackers coach since 2011, is expected to become defensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts once Josh McDaniels is named head coach after Super Bowl LII.
Eberflus was given the passing game coordinator title last season in which he effectively ran the back seven of the defense and relayed the calls by coordinator Rod Marinelli, who runs the defensive line.
