The Dallas Cowboys are expected to name Matt Eberflus as their new offensive coordinator following an interview today, according to reports.
Jerry Jones sparked fan fury when he settled on Brian Schottenheimer as the team's new head coach, and work is now underway to decide on his assistants.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, former Bears head coach Eberflus will become the new OC, signaling a return to the franchise for the 54-year-old.
Eberflus was previously the team's linebackers coach from 2011 to 2015 under Jason Garrett before assuming passing game coordinator duties through 2017.
He was then hired by the Colts as their defensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021, before landing his first (and so far only) head coaching job in Chicago.
Over three seasons in charge of the Bears, the team went 3-14, 7-10 and 4-8 when he was fired in late November.
The general fan consensus seemed to be positive, with many believing that while he struggled as a head coach, he was an impressive DC with the Colts.
Dallas fans were furious last week when Schottenheimer was given the reins as head coach after two seasons as CO.
On the defensive side of the ball, Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger is among the favorites to replace Schottenheimer as OC.
The Cowboys went 7-10 in the 2024 season and parted ways with Mike McCarthy late, with the team finishing third behind the Eagles and Commanders in a tough NFC East.
