Shortly after a full press conference with the new Cowboys head coach, the organization unveiled their next big plan: a new defensive coordinator. Specifically, the addition of Matt Eberflus, the former Chicago Bears head coach.

Now, it is time for his staff to come together. NFL insider Ed Werder initially reported former Cowboys assistant Matt Eberflus was hired as defensive coordinator. Werder would retract that report later, noting, as Jane Slater did initially, that Eberflus is "held in high regard" for the position, but has not been hired yet.
