Former Cowboys Coach on Verge of Being Fired Next After Latest Axing
The Dallas Cowboys are 3-6 and are likely going to miss the playoffs. With a mixture of injuries, bad play, and questionable coaching, the Cowboys' chances of doing any damage in 2024 are eliminated.
Quarterback Dak Prescott going down for the year with a hamstring injury was the final nail in the coffin. It's all but certain that this will be Mike McCarthy's final season in Dallas.
While this is happening with the Cowboys, there are a lot of other head coaches on the hot seat. On Tuesday, the Chicago Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. With Waldron out, head coach Matt Eberflus might be following him out of the door soon.
Eberflus was the Cowboys linebacker coach from 2011-2015 before adding passing game coordinator to his plate from 2016-2017.
He's been the Bears head coach since 2022 and owns a 14-29 record. This past offseason, Chicago made drastic changes along the roster that included adding Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and Kevin Byard to name a few. Despite all these moves, Chicago's struggles on the field have been the same.
They are 4-5 on the season and have dropped three games in a row. There were already doubts around Eberflus' ability to lead a team before entering the season and he hasn't done anything to change that narrative.
With Williams regressing by the week and the team failing to come out prepared, there is a high likelihood that Eberflus will be relieved of his duties if things don't change quickly.
They already fired Waldron. Eberflus' job is next on the list, and he needs to find some answers, or he'll be out of a job just like Waldron.
