‘The Flus,’ Don Mattingly

Matt Eberflus

Eberflus or ‘The Flus’ was released of his duties as Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator on Tuesday. The Flus did not live up to expectations.

In his first and only season, Dallas finished with one of the NFL’s worst scoring and total defenses. In fact, Jerry Jones thinks Flus is not to blame, saying, they built toward a certain project for five to six years, whatever that means.

The type of defensive personnel was lethally off and most of all. They traded Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs for Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams.

Don Mattingly

Mattingly does not want to manage. He wants to see players flourish as a bench coach.

It was announced yesterday that Don Mattingly will become the Philadelphia Phillies bench coach and return for his 36th season as a player, coach, and manager. He will also be reuniting with his son, Preston Mattingly who currently serves as Phillies general manager.

This is one astonishing story as fans in Philadelphia should appreciate. Don has been around the game for a long time and will bestow knowledge to those such as Bryce Harper.

Like Harper, Mattingly played first base and would be more than willing to help at that position. Mattingly, Kevin Long, and Rob Thomson add to former Yankees coaches, now part of the Phillies organization.
