While Brian Schottenheimer is seemingly second-guessing whether players believe they can execute Eberflus&#8217; scheme, he also gave Eberflus a pretty loud endorsement after the loss.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\">It doesn&#8217;t sound like the Cowboys are going to fire Matt Eberflus &#8230; yet<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\"><em><strong>&#8220;Matt\u2019s a great coach,&#8221; <\/strong><\/em>Schottenheimer <em><strong>said about why he believes Eberflus can fix the defense. &#8220;Everywhere he\u2019s ever been, he\u2019s had good defenses. It\u2019s not just Matt by himself. Matt\u2019s trying. The players are trying. This is not a lack of effort.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Is that the quote from a head coach who is close to firing his defensive coordinator? While Schottenheimer doesn&#8217;t come across as a coach who will throw coaches or players under the bus, there is clearly a semblance of belief that Eberflus can right the ship.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Schottenheimer admittedly was backed into a corner (what else was he supposed to say?), but it sounds like Eberlfus will at least get one more week to save his job.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\"><strong>RELATED: <\/strong>Cowboys&#8217; Brian Schottenheimer just exposed Matt Eberflus in worst possible way<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">Another abomination in a losing effort against the division-rival Commanders next week could be what pushes Jerry Jones over the edge.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">Whatever that breaking point is, Schottenehimer and the Jonses at least have to have a conversation about Eberflus. The Cowboys have the most prolific offense in football, and yet every game is a dogfight because the defense can&#8217;t stop anybody.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">Allowing Bryce Young, who was 8-25 in his career as a starting quarterback before Sunday, to throw for three touchdowns and complete nearly 70 percent of his passes is arguably just as bad as allowing Russell Wilson to turn back the clock with 450 yards and 3 TDs in Week 2.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\">There admittedly aren&#8217;t great alternatives available outside of the organization, and there seemingly isn&#8217;t anyone in-house who deserves to call the defense. But the Joneses are staring down the barrel of wasting Dak Prescott&#8217;s best season if Eberflus continues to run the show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys all but revealed the fate of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus in Brian Schottenheimer&#8217;s postgame press conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":107072,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cowboys all but reveal Matt Eberflus&#039;
