Matt Eberflus’ return to Dallas involved a variety of factors, including Dak Prescott.
The quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is a gravitational figure. Whoever it may be, as long as there’s some success on the field, it opens up the door for commercials, public speaking events, and other avenues off the field.
When someone like Dak Prescott is the quarterback, he not only has the ability to attract players around him, but coaches enjoy being near him as well. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus spoke with Ed Werder and Matt Mosley of The Doomsday Podcast and noted that returning to Dallas was a good fit for several reasons, with Prescott being one of them.
