The Dallas Cowboys initially wanted to take nearly two weeks to evaluate Matt Eberflus' first season as defensive coordinator. When the dust settled, it only took 48 hours after Sunday's finale to hand Eberflus his walking papers.
It stands to reason that Brian Schottenheimer intervened and expedited the process. While the Joneses like to drag their feet with these decisions, Schottenheimer understands the importance of starting the interview process as soon as possible. Having said that, it probably isn't a coincidence that Eberflus was fired shortly after the Cowboys conducted their player exit interviews.
