In his new introduction and re-introduction to Dallas on Tuesday, Eberflus said his goal for Dallas’ defense is ‘pretty simple.’

Eberflus came to the Cowboys in 2011 working in a 3-4 defense under Rob Ryan. He left following the 2017 season after working in a 4-3 scheme under Monte Kiffin and Rod Marinelli. In his last two seasons, he served as the passing game coordinator and worked alongside Marinelli in many ways.

Matt Eberflus will be the Dallas Cowboys' third consecutive defensive coordinator with previous head coaching experience, following the footsteps of Dan Quinn and Mike Zimmer, both of which set the bar high during their brief stints on the team.
