DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys made another hire official Tuesday after announcing that former San Francisco defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen will be their new special teams coordinator, WFAA Sports Anchor Joe Trahan confirmed.

Dallas Cowboys COO Stephen Jones has detailed what head coach Brian Schottenheimer is looking for in an offensive coordinator.

The Dallas Cowboys have named Nick Sorensen their new special teams coordinator, as reported by ESPN's Todd Archer. This is the latest addition to head coach Brian Schottenheimer's staff. Sorensen joins the Cowboys following his tenure as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers.

The Cowboys hired former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator Tuesday for his second stint on the Dallas staff.

The Cowboys, having moved on from head coach Mike McCarthy while also allowing incumbent special-teams coordinator "Bones'' Fassel to take the same job with the Tennessee Titans, are planning to bring 49ers ex Nick Sorensen to The Star.

The Cowboys hired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus this week and they've filled one of the other coaching roles on that side of the ball as well.

Considered the front-runner for the job when Brian Schottenheimer was hired as Dallas Cowboys head coach, Matt Eberflus is now the team's defensive coordinator, the team announced Tuesday. Eberflus served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears for nearly three seasons before he was fired on Nov.
