Dallas Cowboys Shake Up Coaching Staff: Christian Parker Replaces Matt Eberflus

The Dallas Cowboys have made a significant change to their coaching staff, firing defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after just one season.

Meanwhile, Eberflus has joined the San Francisco Forty-Niners as assistant head coach for defense.
