Jerry Jones: We'll make defensive coordinator hire together, same way we did last year

The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus following a season where the team conceded over 30 points per game and finished with a 7-9-1 record. Owner Jerry Jones addressed the media about the decision-making process for hiring a new coordinator, indicating that head coach Brian Schottenheimer, Stephen Jones, and himself were all involved in Eberflus' initial hiring. Jerry Jones stated that the same collaborative approach will be used to find Eberflus' replacement. The team has yet to begin interviewing candidates, but Jones confirmed that previous head coaching experience is not a prerequisite, leaving the door open for a first-time coordinator.
