Falcons interview Matt Eberflus for defensive coordinator


The Falcons spoke with another candidate for the vacant defensive coordinator position.

Atlanta announced Saturday morning that Matt Eberflus has interviewed with the club for the position.

Eberflus, 54, was fired as Bears coach on Nov. 29 after compiling a 14-32 record with the club. He mismanaged the clock late in Chicago’s Thanksgiving loss to the Lions, leading to the coach being fired midseason for the first time.

The Bears finished the 2023 season with No. 12 in yards allowed and No. 20 in points allowed.

Eberflus was previously the Colts’ defensive coordinator from 2018-2021 and the Cowboys’ running backs coach from 2011-2017.

After firing Jimmy Lake, the Falcons also interviewed Jeff Ulbrich, Don “Wink” Martindale, Lou Anarumo, and Steve Wilkes, among others, for their roles in DC.
