The Dallas Cowboys have been balling this season. They have already won 11 of their 16 games and have qualified for the postseason. A major reason for their success this season has been the team’s outstanding coaching. Along with head coach Mike McCarthy, DC Dan Quinn has been phenomenal in creating a very stingy defense this season.

The former Atlanta Falcons head coach joined the Cowboys in 2021 and since then, has been responsible for a very stout Cowboys defense. Due to his stellar work this season, he has been in a lot of head coaching shortlists around the league. Quinn is linked with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Carolina Panthers’ jobs after this season.

Quinn also seems to be ready to become a head coach again. He was recently asked about his future as an HC in the league, to which he said:

However, Quinn has made Dallas his home and might not leave at all.

Quinn was the head coach of the Falcons for six seasons. He led them to a Super Bowl appearance in 2016 but failed spectacularly against the New England Patriots. The Atlanta-based team blew a 25-point lead en route to a 34-28 overtime defeat. Quinn was fired from the Falcons in 2020.

The Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has created a defensive juggernaut in Dallas as they look to win their first Super Bowl since 1995. However, Quinn’s performance as a DC has led a lot of teams to consider him for their head coaching position.

Two teams, in particular, are strong favorites to land Quinn. The Los Angeles Chargers and the Carolina Panthers. The Chargers fired their head coach Brandon Staley after a disastrous season. Panthers, on the other hand, had lost 10 of their first 11 games under then HC Frank Reich and that was enough for the franchise, as they pulled the plug on Reich. Quinn will be a great addition to either team this offseason.

Quinn has head coaching experience as he was the HC of the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons. He led them to two playoff appearances including a Super Bowl appearance in 2016. It will be interesting to see where Quinn lands after the season.
