The Dallas Cowboys are set to kick off the 2025 NFL season with their third defensive coordinator in three years.
Dan Quinn held the role for three seasons before exiting following the 2023 season to become the new head coach of the Washington Commanders. He was replaced in 2024 by Mike Zimmer, who was shown the door after one season when Brian Schottenheimer replaced Mike McCarthy as head coach. And now, the job belongs to Matt Eberflus, who spent seven years in Dallas as an assistant and makes his return to the franchise after seven years away.
