The Cowboys have made another addition to their defensive staff.
The Dallas Cowboys have had a busy week filling out their coaching staff. They hired Matt Eberflus to be the defensive coordinator as well as several position coaches on that side of the ball. After bringing in Klayton Adams to be the new offensive coordinator on Friday, the Cowboys have now added David Overstreet as their new cornerbacks coach per ESPN's Todd Archer. Curtis worked under Eberflus while he was the head coach of the Chicago Bears for three seasons.
Overstreet spent two years as an assistant defensive backs coach for the Bears before taking over as teams nickel coach in 2024. Before he went to Chicago, Overstreet spent four years with the Indianapolis Colts. The first three were as a defensive quality control coach before moving up to an assistant defensive backs coach in 2021. He worked under Eberflus while he was the defensive coordinator for the Colts during that time as well.
One thing is for certain, Eberflus is getting a ton of familiarity with his style of coaching on board in Dallas, which should make for a smooth transition, and hopefully a better defensive unit in 2025.
