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.

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.

Dallas has also hired Nick Sorenson to serve as special teams coordinator under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
