Stephen Jones hints at major Cowboys coaching changes as defensive struggles mount and Matt Eberflus faces an uncertain future.

The Cowboys are heading into a pivotal offseason after putting together one of the league’s best offenses. Jones agrees with that notion. Even after a calendar year that has seen the team trade away Micah Parsons and trade for George Pickens and Quinnen Williams, Jones could be looking at similar sizable moves.

The Cowboys are expected to part ways with defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after a mess of a season on that side of the ball.

The Dallas Cowboys will look hard at defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and decide whether to bring him back next season.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones alluded to sizable changes on defense before his team lost to the New York Giants in the season finale.

A massive brawl broke out between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants during Sunday’s Week 18 matchup. Cowboys defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku was ejected from the game.

Prior to the start of the 2025 season, the Cowboys traded superstar pass-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers while in the midst of a contract stalemate. There were already concerns about Dallas’ defense after ranking 28th in total defense and 31st in scoring defense last season, and the issues were amplified without Parsons.
