The Dallas Cowboys hired Brian Schottenheimer and got blasted by an NFC executive for not hiring Kellen Moore.

Serving as Cowboys offensive coordinator the last two seaosns, Schottenheimer brings 25 years of NFL coaching experience to the job.

The re-hiring of Eberflus would follow the Cowboys’ objective of maintaining continuity with their scheme. Eberflus runs a similar 4-3 scheme as previous coordinator Mike Zimmer and that’s part of the reason why he’s a favorite.

Matt Eberflus is expected to be the next defensive coordinator in Dallas and he'll take a step toward the job on Monday.

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.

Eberflus is reportedly expected to be Dallas HC Brian Schottenheimer's first hire, pending a final in-person interview.
