FRISCO, Texas — The Cowboys hired former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator Tuesday for his second stint on the Dallas staff.
Eberflus returned to the Cowboys two months after the Bears fired him 12 games into his third season, just a day after he botched a timeout against Detroit late in a sixth consecutive loss. He was 14-32 with the Bears.
The Bears hired Eberflus after his four-year stint as defensive coordinator in Indianapolis. He had spent the previous seven seasons as a linebackers coach with the Cowboys, who eventually added passing game coordinator duties.
Eberflus is joining coach Brian Schottenheimer’s staff. Schottenheimer, who was hired last week to replace Mike McCarthy, plans to call the offensive plays.
The 54-year-old Eberflus spent 17 years as a college assistant before becoming the Cleveland Browns linebackers coach in 2009.
