Matt Eberflus is entering “Jerry World.”
The former Bears head coach is the Cowboys’ pick to be their next defensive coordinator, a marriage that became likely the minute Brian Schottenheimer was named their head coach Friday. The Cowboys officially hired him Tuesday after spending the weekend interviewing candidates to satisfy the Rooney Rule, which requires that teams meet with minority candidates for coordinator jobs.
With the Cowboys on the Bears’ schedule this season, Eberflus will return to Soldier Field.
