According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Dallas Cowboys are closing in on a deal with former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus to become their new defensive coordinator, marking a significant addition to Schottenheimer's staff.

Brian Schottenheimer has made a high-profile addition to his Cowboys staff, bringing in ex-Bears head coach Matt Eberflus to be the team's new DC.

Eberflus is set to interview with Dallas for the DC gig today, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that meeting is expected to result in a hire. Provided that proves to be the case, this will mark a return to the Cowboys for Eberflus. He worked as the team’s linebackers coach from 2012-17.
