INEVITABLE: Why the Dallas Cowboys Must FIRE Matt Eberflus to Transform Their Defense in 2026

Dallas Cowboys face major coaching uncertainty as defensive woes mount. Is Matt Eberflus destined to be ousted after a disastrous showing against the Chargers, and who could replace him as defensive coordinator in 2026? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool debate the fallout from the latest defensive collapse, Jerry Jones' public comments, and whether the Cowboys’ struggles will deter top coordinator candidates like Brian Flores or Jonathan Gannon from joining the staff.

The conversation heats up around Tyler Smith’s future along the offensive line—should Dallas prioritize him at left tackle or left guard? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool assess Smith’s strengths, Guyton’s durability, and how those choices impact Dak Prescott’s protection.

Plus, the crew highlights Kenny Clark’s underrated surge, Osa Odighizuwa’s breakout, and what an upgraded defensive tackle group means for the Cowboys’ 2026 outlook. Don’t miss this analysis of Dallas’ looming offseason decisions and the potential ripple effects on the NFC landscape.
