So, it turns out that the report about the Dallas Cowboys needing 10 to 12 days to evaluate defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus wasn't accurate. Maybe that was the plan, and Jerry Jones turned up the urgency once he realized how many replacements became available on Black Monday.
Whatever the case, ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that the Cowboys have fired Eberflus. It was the only decision after statistically the worst defensive season in the franchise's history.
The 2025 Cowboys finished with the fourth-worst defense in DVOA history. They ranked dead last in EPA per play and total EPA, 30th in defensive success rate, 31st in EPA per pass, and 30th in EPA per rush.
