Meh, Harbaugh is someone living off past success. The Titans went further with Tannehill/Henry than Harbaugh was able to take Lamar/Henry. He's like his brother in LA, who isn't doing jack shit but being embarrassed in the wild card round.

He was being discussed on a podcast earlier this week. In the last 10 years where he had double digit pro bowlers he didnt get out of the divisional round. He and Jerry would have been a great fit.

You guys are nitpicking Harbaugh’s.

Meanwhile… Dallas didn’t make the playoffs.

Jerrah needs to take a long hard look down I-45.

hilarious to watch NE retool, draft, find a coach and be in the mix for super bowl 6 years since Brady left while Jerrruh and Jerry Jr/fatass moron eat boogers while drafting shitty OL/DL and DB's

The Texans are winning the playoffs despite Stroud and he hasn't been very good the last two years in the reg season, just okay. And this isn't to crush Stroud, there's other threads for that, but he was the QB who was brought up.

If you look and really watch the games yesterday, none of the QBs played all that well. Stafford stat below and he's MOVING ON. Now there are reasons for that, namely the weather and caliber of defense, but running the ball and defense typically wins in the playoffs and it's been that way for 75 years.

It's not Romo or Dak or Quincy Carter or this guy or that guy primarily. It's Jerry Jones. Dude could fuck up a wet dream (Patrick Mahomes). I'm of the opinion that if the Cowboys had Patrick Mahomes, we would still have 0 Super Bowl wins, but damn would we sell a lot of fucking jerseys. The issue has been and will always be known. It's Jerry Jones. Wish for his demise or him to get arrested for tax fraud and forced to sell the team or whatever fanciful fantasy you want, but this will be a losing organization as long as he's in charge. Pray it comes quick.

Matthew Stafford is the only NFL QB since the 1970 merger to:

throw 40+ passes

complete under 50% of his throws

throw for 0 TDs

...in a road start and yet still win (reg or post).

QBs had been a combined 0-99-1 in road starts since the merger when doing that.

This is true. Its 4 solid organizations left.

Seattle, LA, Denver, and New England have all had multiple superbowl appearances in the last 20 years.

After awhile its not just luck that these organizations have continued success.

Maybe a guy like vrabel would’ve done ok here

Imma take a wild guess. That none of those teams owners are also the gm. And I’ll add they probably have never been a gm before.

Be an owner and only an owner.

that should be the foundation.

Would never work here. He had options and he wouldn't want Jerrah fucking things up as GM. Good coaches with options won't come here...... Only guys who were never was' like Schotty or retreads with no options and desperate or guys who are part of the Jerry circle who get their chance way before they should (Red, and coming in 3 years.... Jason Witten).

This is bleak as shit. Completely devoid of talent across the entire defense, except DT where they have $60m+ in cap space tied up in 3 players. Just masterful roster construction.

The Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 defense was arguably the worst in franchise history. They ended the season with the NFL’s 30th-ranked total defense and 32nd-ranked scoring defense. Regardless of what the team did offensively, they weren’t making the playoffs with how poorly they played on the other side of the ball.

Two days after the season finale at New York, the Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after only one season.

“Having known Matt Eberflus for decades now, we have tremendous respect and appreciation for him as a coach and a person,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. “After reviewing and discussing the results of our defensive performance this season, though, it was clear that change is needed. This is the first step in that process, and we will continue that review as it applies to reaching our much higher expectations.”

Hiring the right defensive coordinator is only the first step. The personnel also needs a massive upgrade, so there is plenty of work to do in free agency and the draft.

“We got to get an identity on the defensive side of the football,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said recently on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “I don’t think we ever established what we were as a defense. We really weren’t a team that created turnovers. We didn’t get the ball. We gave up a lot of explosive (plays). At times it felt like we were (stopping) the run. But we just got a lot of work to do on that side of the ball. I think everybody knows that. We’ll go all in.”

To breakdown some of their biggest areas of need, here’s how the current defensive roster and special teams look heading into the 2026 season. You can check out the offensive roster analysis here.

Cornerback

In: DaRon Bland, Shavon Revel, Caelen Carson, Trikweze Bridges

Out: Corey Ballentine

On the fence: Josh Butler, Reddy Steward, Zion Childress (signed to reserve futures contract)

Butler and Steward are exclusive rights free agents. One or both could be back, but there is some uncertainty because of how much the position needs to be upgraded. At least one Day 1 starting cornerback has to be added in free agency, via trade or in the first round of the draft. And they probably need another corner who has the ability to start because of Bland’s recent foot surgery and the uncertainty at the rest of the position. Fixing this area of the team might be the biggest task the new defensive coordinator will face in Year 1.

Safety

In: Malik Hooker, Alijah Clark, Markquese Bell, Juanyeh Thomas, Julius Wood (signed to reserve futures contract)

Out: None

On the fence: Donovan Wilson

Changes are needed at safety. The position just hasn’t been good enough. Hooker has a year left on his contract. Bell has two years remaining. Thomas is a restricted free agent. It would make sense to make a notable investment in the position from outside the building. Perhaps the new defensive coordinator will value the position more than it has been in the past. That’s where a new player could end up replacing Wilson, an unrestricted free agent.

Linebacker

In: DeMarvion Overshown, Marist Liufau, Shemar James, Isaiah Land (signed to reserve futures contract)

Out: Kenneth Murray, Jack Sanborn

On the fence: Logan Wilson, Justin Barron

Another position that massively underperformed in 2025. A notable addition is needed at middle linebacker. It’s difficult to believe that Dallas would think Wilson would be the answer there, so using a first-round pick or making a notable veteran addition seems more likely, depending on what the new defensive coordinator wants anchoring the middle of his defense.

Defensive end

In: Donovan Ezeiruaku, James Houston, Adedayo Odeleye (signed to reserve futures contract)

Out: None

On the fence: Jadeveon Clowney, Dante Fowler, Sam Williams, Payton Turner

Clowney seems like a decent bet to be on the “in” line. But he’s an unrestricted free agent and probably made himself some money with how he played this past season. The Cowboys have been very open about wanting the soon-to-be 33-year-old back next season. Fowler, Williams and Turner could easily have been on the “out” line but there’s probably a dollar amount where any one of them could be back, just because of how thin Dallas is at the position. Another spot where it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Cowboys use one of their two first-round picks.

Defensive tackle

In: Quinnen Williams, Osa Odighizuwa, Kenny Clark, Solomon Thomas, Jay Toia

Out: None

On the fence: Perrion Winfrey

This is by far the best the Cowboys have been at defensive tackle over the last 15 years. The problem: Do they have too much money tied up in the position? Probably. But the front office has been clear about wanting Clark to remain, so there will probably need to be something done to make his contract a little more manageable. Clark is scheduled to count $21.5 million against the 2026 salary cap. That’s with Williams at $21.75 million and Odighizuwa at $20.75 million. Winfrey could still be in the mix, but six defensive tackles seems unnecessary.

Special teams

In: K Brandon Aubrey, P Bryan Anger, LS Trent Sieg

Out: None

On the fence: C.J. Goodwin

Aubrey is a restricted free agent, Sieg has two years left on his contract and Anger has one. The Cowboys would love to get Aubrey signed to a long-term extension. But he’s the best kicker in football and that means an average annual salary that’s probably more than $6.5 million per season. His most recent contract had him averaging around $1 million per season. Aubrey is represented by Todd France, the same agent as Dak Prescott. The expectation is that they will eventually get something done; it just might take a while. Goodwin is an unrestricted free agent. He turns 36 next month. Dallas’ special teams had a noticeable drop-off in 2025. While moving on from Goodwin seems like a good possibility, it’s difficult to completely write him off because of how well-respected he is within the organization.

All of this. Yes Dak has had a couple of questionable playoff performances...not ALL the games, a few of them. But he played more than well enough to win at least 3 of those playoff losses if only the fucking Defense holds on.

And there are games he played well and helped them win too (like Seattle)

Cautiously optimistic.

Weakens the Eagles, at least. Their secondary was salty

ESPN.com

Source: Cowboys reach DC agreement with Eagles' Christian...

The Cowboys have agreed to a deal to make Eagles passing game coordinator and secondary coach Christian Parker their defensive coordinator, a source told ESPN.

Boy is he in for a shock when he starts watching game film. Going from the Eagles secondary to seeing the barren wasteland in Dallas in person will be fun.

Good luck to him because the talent level on this defense vs the Eagles defense is massive to say the least. You can only scheme and design so much with shitty talent.

Best news is the Cowboys will get a draft pick out of it because of the absurd Goodell hiring rules. But might as well. I was kinda rooting for that, though Leonard was probably my favorite. But none of us really know shit about who would be the actual best for the Cowboys D. He does know the fecals inside and out, so that's another good thing.

the eagles apparently gave him glowing reviews when we asked about him. I assume he’s absolute trash and was dead weight that the eagles were hoping to get rid of. as howie roseman is good at his job, he manipulated jerry and his retarded crotch fruit into believing that this guy is the next big thing, ensuring that the already abysmal defense of his primary rival will actually get worse in 2026.
