5 Defensive Coordinators who could replace Matt Eberflus

5 Defensive Coordinators who could replace Matt Eberflus

We all know the Cowboys lack a defensive identity, and that is a problem that needs to be fixed after the season.

This isn’t just a bad season. What I’ve watched is a defense that never knows what it wants to be. There is no calling card and no offense feared anything this defense has thrown at them.

The defensive leadership has failed on multiple fronts. From playing in a scheme that doesn’t match the personnel, to adding big names to the front four and still not stopping the run.

I don’t want the next hire to be only about...

Cowboys news: The mystery around Trevon Diggs remains unsolved

What is going on with Trevon Diggs and the Dallas Cowboys? – Todd Archer, ESPN.com

Will Trevon Diggs ever suit up again as a member of the Dallas Cowboys?

It’s a simple question: What is going on with Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs?

Late last week, Diggs said he expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings after a two-month absence from a concussion and a stint on injured reserve with a right knee injury. On Saturday, he was told he would be inactive again.

“I was upset,” Diggs said.

He watched the...

Cowboys’ 3-game win streak was a mirage

Cowboys’ 3-game win streak was a mirage

After the Monday night loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys were sitting at 3-5-1 for the season and heading into their bye week.

The next day, they traded for defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson. The gloom over the franchise lightened a little.

Only to slam back down with full force two days later when defensive end Marshawn Kneeland took his own life.

The season hung precariously in the balance.

Dallas was three games behind the Eagles for the division lead. They were well out of the wildcard hunt too.

Then it all changed.

Cowboys roundtable discussion: Playoff chances, Matt Eberflus, and the Chargers game

Every week, we gather to discuss the latest news about the Dallas Cowboys and seek our writer’s perspective on each headline. Welcome back to the roundtable. This week we have Sean Martin, Jess Haynie and Tom Ryle.

The Cowboys have to win out, the Eagles have to lose out for Dallas to make the playoffs. Do we see that happening?

Mike: Short answer here is it’s alive, but it’s a parlay I’d never bet. Winning out is hard enough, asking the Eagles to simultaneously lose out multiplies the improbability across every remaining week. Could it happen? Sure, football is...

9 coaches who would make the Cowboys defense better in 2026

9 coaches who would make the Cowboys defense better in 2026

After Sunday night’s loss to the Vikings, the Cowboys are all but eliminated from the playoffs. Dak Prescott even admitted as much. Understandably, all the ire has turned to Matt Eberflus yet again, and Jerry Jones even seemed to make room for the possibility of making a defensive coordinator change once the season wraps up.

That decision would be easy to justify, too. While Eberflus has produced really good defenses throughout his career, it hasn’t been good in Dallas. The Cowboys enjoyed a brief boost in efficiency after the trade deadline, but it quickly fell apart, and they’re back to...

Right move for the Cowboys to play starters in the final 3 games?

Right move for the Cowboys to play starters in the final 3 games?

Jerry Jones has gotten his fair share of words after the loss to the Vikings on Sunday night, and one thing he touched on was the outlook for the final three games now that Dallas only has a 1% chance to make the playoffs.

Speaking with 103TheFan this morning, Jones touched on a lot of things, including what the plan would be for the final three games of the season.

Let’s just say he is not a fan of trying to tank for a better draft pick.

He said they have no plans to sit starters for a potential better...

Trevon Diggs time in Dallas is coming to an end

Trevon Diggs time in Dallas is coming to an end

It feels like every single week the situation with Trevon Diggs gets more weird.

Diggs said he expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings after a two-month absence from a concussion and a stint on injured reserve with a right knee injury. On Saturday, he was told he would be inactive again.

Yet, after the game, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said, “Diggs isn’t healthy enough to be out there for us. Period.” I don’t know about you, but it really is starting to feel like we may not see Diggs back with Dallas in 2026.

Dallas Cowboys Discussion: Who do you blame the most? Why?

The Dallas Cowboys are all but eliminated from playoff contention in 2025, and if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Jayden Daniels-less Washington Commanders on Saturday, then they officially will be next time they take the field themselves. Given that Christmas is still over a week away, it is a tough pill to swallow.

We are going to see the Cowboys miss the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2019 and 2020 so it has been a minute since they were this bad this consistently. Our discussion prompt for today is pretty simple in this regard: **Who do...

Cowboys vs. Vikings Stock Report: Brian Schottenheimer, Matt Eberflus fail team

The Dallas Cowboys were thoroughly outmatched on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings, a team that found out just hours before kickoff that their 2025 season was over for all intents and purposes after being eliminated from the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys knew before the game that their playoff hopes were clinging to life support. They had to win their final four games, and even if they pulled that off they were not guaranteed anything. Still though, in the name of controlling what you can control, it was their chance to prove that they were ready to fight to the...

Who Cowboys Fans Should Root For to Improve Draft Position

Who Cowboys Fans Should Root For to Improve Draft Position

At this point in the season, I know Cowboys fans are split. Some are still holding onto playoff hopes, and others are already looking ahead to April.

I’m not here to tell anyone how to feel, but if this season continues to slip, I think it’s important to understand how the rest of the league can help Dallas, even if the Cowboys don’t win another game.

If Dallas loses out, draft position becomes the one thing that still matters, and it’s determined by math, not emotion.

If it were emotion, I’m pretty sure Cowboys fans would vault the team up...

Cowboys news: Dak Prescott frustrated by “maybe” opportunities that didn’t come for George Pickens

Dak Prescott explains the frustrating lack of targets to George Pickens in Week 15 loss to the Vikings – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports

Two games is enough for a trend, and George Pickens not being involved in two straight losses is a concerning one for the Cowboys offense.

Throughout the week, you heard it all about the Vikings’ aggressive defense led by one of the most blitz-happy defensive coordinators in the NFL, Brian Flores. Leading up to the game, Prescott even reminisced about that one time Flores sent Cover-0 (man coverage, no safety help, 6-7 man...
