Yes im happy he's fired
Yes
He ain’t gone do nothing but find somebody cheaper or better yet he might do it himself
#Jerry Jones the next defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys.
Next year when we lose he’ll be the head coach!
WHY DID HE TAKE THE JOB, bad career move.
Clean out your desk, turn in your keys, see HR for your final paycheck, and GET THE F**K OUTTA HERE!!!!
Not just Y but Hell Y he was not a team coach and was not willing to bend or adjust
Y
Hell yeeeaaahhh
HELL YES YES AND YES
Yes fire his AZZ
Had no choice….
This had to happen but given the worst defenses have been with different coordinators it may also be time to do a complete blow up and evaluation talent/player wise on that side of the ball as well.

Hell yes 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Yes let's go
Fire, OK. And some players need to follow.
First find a quality DC replacement. Then resign Clowney for your DE help (can be done before or after the new DC is signed. He was a bright spot and just needs an offseason program to mesh better with the team and the new DC); the rest of the d-line is solid. In the draft, we need to get two of the following three starting caliber, impact players in the first round: LB, CB and S. Whichever position we miss on in the draft will need to be picked up from free agency because nearly anyone we draft from the 4th round till the 7th will be lucky to make the team and likely end up as just a special team player.
Still have Jerry so no big deal😮
Very happy 🎉
Fantastic ❗️ Y (3)
Yes!

Finally!

I'm glad he is gone
Yes they did right to fire eberflus
If they actually do a real coaching search and ACTUALLY get a good DC, then they have a great draft. And defense is actually good, then the attention will be off the defense and people will realize offense is not coached well at all either. The numbers are deceiving. Shotty nice guy but not a good coach.
Yes
Best Tuesday ever
AL HARRIS!!!!
Now get rid of the players who can't cover or tackle.
This is the start of the defensive rebuild. Now they need to be active in FA and draft wisely on defense.
Yes!!!!!!
I wouldn’t have been surprised if they kept him though
Yes
No for no Tommy
Go grab the browns d cord
Confidence level in hiring a good DC? -1
