After several days of speculation, the Cowboys made it official on Tuesday and hired former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus to be the new defensive coordinator under Brian Schottenheimer. We broke down the scheme that Eberflus will be bringing to Dallas, which you can read here, but there is one main takeaway from this hiring.
The Cowboys must prioritize Osa Odighizuwa among all other soon-to-be free agents.
Eberflus, who spent seven seasons in Dallas and five of them working under Rod Marinelli, brings the same Tampa 2 scheme with him that he learned under the longtime Cowboys defensive coordinator.
