After the Dallas Cowboys' 34-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, cornerback Trevon Diggs publicly criticized the coaching staff, specifically defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. Diggs pointed to the challenges posed by the change in defensive coordinators, suggesting that it complicates finding the right schemes and personnel.

He stated, 'It could be the change in defensive coordinator. That's hard to deal with, changing plays, changing personnel, finding what fits.' Despite trying to emphasize that the defense is headed in the right direction, Diggs did not shy away from expressing his dissatisfaction with the coaching decisions.

This comes as Eberflus' defense allowed J.J. McCarthy, a struggling quarterback, to perform exceptionally well, raising questions about the effectiveness of the coaching strategy. Meanwhile, team owner Jerry Jones acknowledged Diggs' frustrations but refrained from placing direct blame on Eberflus.

The situation has highlighted the growing frustrations within the team and the pressing need for accountability following a disappointing season, as the Cowboys have struggled to maintain defensive consistency under Eberflus, who is the team's third defensive coordinator in three years.

Diggs' comments have stirred significant discussions among fans and analysts alike, emphasizing the tension within the organization following a crucial loss.
