Matt Eberflus Biography

Matt Eberflus is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on May 17, 1970 in Toledo, United States. Matt Eberflus (born May 17 1970) is an American football coach. He serves as the defensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He is also an assistant coach of the linebackers for Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys and also coached in Toledo as well as Missouri.

Eberflus was as much of an asset in his role as recruiter as the role of a defensive coach, bringing four-year starter quarterback Brad Smith, defensive back William Moore, and linebacker Sean Weatherspoon to Columbia. After becoming the only player in Division 1A football history to throw for more than 2,000 yards or rush up to 1000 yards one season, along with numerous other awards at the collegiate level, Smith would go on to be selected to the New York Jets and enjoy an eight-year run in the position of an NFL wide receiver. Under Eberflus guidance, Moore was named a First-Team All American (2007) and Second-Team All-Big 12 (2007), and was drafted in the 2nd round of 2009’s NFL Draft to the Atlanta Falcons which would see him be the team’s Pro Bowl safety (2012). Weatherspoon was Three-time First Team All-Big 12 player (2007 2008, 2009, 2007) as well as the Third Team All-American (2008) under the tutelage of Eberflus prior to being selected in the 1st round in the 10th Round of the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons.

In 2011, Eberflus followed Rob Ryan to the Dallas Cowboys, joining the staff of head coach Jason Garrett as the Linebacker Coach. The linebacker group was spearheaded at the time by All-Pro DeMarcus Ware. In Eberflus’ first season, Ware registered 19.5 sacks, good for second in the NFC and the NFL and tops amongst all linebackers in the NFL en route to his sixth consecutive selection as a Pro Bowl starter. Eberflus also helped with the continued development of second-year linebacker Sean Lee, who lead the team with 131 tackles (91 solo) and tied for the team-lead with four interceptions, the most by any NFL linebacker in 2011. Eberflus’ linebacker unit produced five of Dallas’ top-10 tacklers and three of the top-five.

Eberflus spent the first nine years of his coaching career at his alma mater, the University Toledo. He served as a student assistant coach in 1992 under Gary Pinkel, then as a graduate assistant in 1993 before landing a full-time spot in 1994 as recruiting coordinator/outside linebackers coach when defensive coordinator Dean Pees left for Notre Dame. For his last two years at Toledo, Eberflus coached defensive backs. In his seven seasons as a full-time coach, Toledo achieved a winning record in each season, compiling a 56-22-2 record throughout Eberflus’ tenure, including an 11-0-1 finish in 1995 and a 10-1 finish in 2000.

As Gary Pinkel was named head coach at the University of Missouri in 2001 He brought Eberflus to serve to serve as defensive coordinator in addition to coaching defensive backs. The year 2006 was the first time Eberflus received the title of Associate Head Coach. The year 2003 was the time Eberflus was instrumental in helping the Tigers get to the Independence Bowl – MU’s first bowl game in five years. In the next year it was the Tigers defense against the pass came in third place in the country and the team was came in second place on the Big 12 in total defense. Following his success, Eberflus guided the Tigers defense to winning the Big 12 North Division title in 2007 and 2008, accumulating an overall record of 22-6 over the period. In 2007, Eberflus was twice voted the defense coordinator for the week and concluded the season with a win over his team the Arkansas Razorbacks to just seven points in the Cotton Bowl victory. This spring Rivals.com named Eberflus as the top defensive coordinator in the country.
