Former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is closing in on a deal to join the Dallas Cowboys as defensive coordinator, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator.

Now, it is time for his staff to come together. NFL insider Ed Werder initially reported former Cowboys assistant Matt Eberflus was hired as defensive coordinator. Werder would retract that report later, noting, as Jane Slater did initially, that Eberflus is "held in high regard" for the position, but has not been hired yet.
