The NFL coaching cycle is rocking and rolling and Tuesday evening saw it take an even more eventful turn as the Baltimore Ravens fired John Harbaugh. Pretty wild stuff.
Way back in the middle of the season, the Tennessee Titans became the first team to be in the market for a head coach this cycle as they fired Brian Callahan. There has been word that Tennessee could look to hire former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, but as of this writing he has not officially been named as an interviewee ([our friends at Music City Miracles are tracking their whole...

The Dallas Cowboys are officially in offseason mode now and in the process of trying to figure out how to make sure that they are playing football this time next year instead of watching it. Whether or not they are able to pull this off is obviously a massive question.
While the Cowboys have to find a new defensive coordinator after Matt Eberflus’ firing and other potential staff moves, they will spend a lot of time this offseason addressing their roster. They have in-house decisions to make about players like George Pickens, Jadeveon Clowney, Javonte Williams, Brandon Aubrey, so on...

The Dallas Cowboys did not do much of anything well on the defensive side of the ball this season. The Cowboys were undoubtedly one of the worst defenses of the modern era, finishing the season allowing the most total points (511) and recording the worst defensive EPA/Play (0.162) of any defense in the NFL since 2020.
While you could likely count the positives to come out of the defense on one hand, one win for the much-maligned Dallas defense was the performance of veteran defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. After the Micah Parsons deal, the Cowboys signed the former number one...

Well, it took a few days, but the first domino of the Dallas Cowboys’ offseason finally dropped. The team has fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. The dismissal could be seen coming from a mile away. The Dallas defense was among the worst in the NFL and the worst in franchise history, surrendering over 500 points. The Dallas defense couldn’t do anything well. They struggled to rush the passer, didn’t tackle well, and most importantly, they didn’t create takeaways.
The unit has hit rock bottom, and there is nowhere to go but up. With the decision to move on from Eberflus,...

The Dallas Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus on Tuesday morning and a few hours after they did so, team owner, president, and general manager Jerry Jones released a statement about it.
“Having known Matt Eberflus for decades now, we have tremendous respect and appreciation for him as a coach and a person. After reviewing and discussing the results of our defensive performance this season, though, it was clear that change is needed. This is the first step in that process and we will continue that review as it applies to reaching our much higher expectations.”
It is a...

While the Dallas Cowboys are admittedly focused on revamping their defense in the 2026 offseason, some big decisions are still needed on offense. One they hope they won’t have to make is finding a new offensive coordinator, but Klayton Adams may draw interest in the upcoming coaching carousel. As an intriguing young coach with an already strong track record, plus connections outside of the organization, Adams isn’t a lock to return next year.
The Cowboys’ offense finished second overall in the 2025 regular season with 6,663 total yards, just 46 yards shy of the first-place Los Angeles Rams. They were...

After months of speculation, it has happened: Matt Eberflus is out as the Cowboys defensive coordinator after just one year on the job. Brian Schottenheimer publicly backed his embattled coordinator all season long, but the lack of improvements or adjustments at any point throughout the year forced his hand once the season ended.
Now, Schottenheimer will look for the franchise’s fourth different defensive coordinator in as many seasons, as he tries to turn around this unit that played a huge part in costing the Cowboys a shot at the playoffs this year. As the search begins, here are 15 coaches...

Yes, you read that correctly, the Dallas Cowboys have fired Matt Eberflus, and finally, Jerry Jones did not wait two weeks to make an important decision after the season ended.
Dallas gave up 30.1 points per game, the most in the NFL, and finished 30th in yards allowed per game at 377 yards. The Cowboys’ defense also did not create turnovers or get to the passer consistently.
They gave up a team record 511 points, the sixth worst in NFL history.
Trading Micah Parsons a week before the season started surely did not help, but not a single person can...

The Dallas Cowboys fired Matt Eberflus on Tuesday morning and are now on the hunt for what will be their fourth defensive coordinator in as many years.
It is going to be interesting to see how this shakes out. Brian Schottenheimer will likely want to find someone to serve as a point of stability for obvious reasons, but the defense has been so bad lately that the Cowboys can not exactly afford to be picky. Simply put, it is a hire that the organization must get right.
Jerry Jones was perceived to have had a big influence on Matt Eberflus...

The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their 2025 season on Sunday against the New York Giants and it did not take them long to take a serious step towards next season. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been fired.
Unfortunately this move comes as no surprise as the Cowboys have fielded one of the worst defenses in franchise history across this season. Arguments can certainly be made about how the team trading away its best player a week before the season began made things inordinately difficult, but Eberflus had an entire season to figure things out and never did.
Eberflus had a...

The Dallas Cowboys’ season officially came to an end on Sunday afternoon. While you never root for losses, the Cowboys’ 34-17 loss to the New York Giants actually helped them in the long run.
With the loss, Dallas moved up to 12th in the 2026 NFL Draft order, marking the second straight season the Cowboys will hold the 12th overall pick. As we saw on Sunday, the Cowboys have plenty of needs to address this offseason, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
You could make an argument that, outside of defensive tackle, if the Cowboys want to be...

Aside from the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC East had a dismal 2025 season. If not for the NFC South, the division would be the worst in the NFL.
For one year, it was the NFC Least once more.
