Now, a new defensive coordinator will enter the mix for the third season in a row, with the Cowboys hiring Matt Eberflus on Monday. And the Cowboys are confident that Parsons will continue to be a dominant force under his new playcaller.

Considered the front-runner for the job when Brian Schottenheimer was hired as Dallas Cowboys head coach, Matt Eberflus is now the team's defensive coordinator, the team announced Tuesday. Eberflus served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears for nearly three seasons before he was fired on Nov.

The Dallas Cowboys have nothing else left to do this NFL season except to watch their rivals duke it out in the Super Bowl.

Smith called the process “bizarre” and wondered whether the Cowboys are even trying to win anymore. When Rex Ryan and Tedy Bruschi were done throwing rose petals at Schottenheimer, who had been the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator, Smith threw grenades.
