Following his Bears ouster, Eberflus is back in the NFL, this time as defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. That means he’s effectively the lieutenant of (bizarre) first-year head coaching hire Brian Schottenheimer. And that means he’s in a position to give Schottenheimer advice about what NOT to do as a head coach.

Matt Eberflus's run as a head coach with the Bears came to an end after he mismanaged the final seconds of a Thanksgiving loss to the Lions last November, but the ugly end didn't keep him from landing another job.

Matt Eberflus was 40 when he joined the Dallas Cowboys as a linebackers coach in 2011. He had two years of experience as an NFL assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns and stayed with Dallas until 2018.
