The Dallas Cowboys are going to need reinforcements if they are going to step their defensive performance up from the pitiful 2020 version they trolled with. To lead that effort, the club has removed Mike Nolan and implemented Dan Quinn, who stewarded three different defenses to the Super Bowl.
Twice as DC of the Seattle Seahawks and once in his role as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Quinn has been able to command quality efforts that worked when the games counted most. Now, he’ll look to do that for Dallas. One standard rule when bringing in any coach who was recently with another team is that their former players may be interested in working for them again. If that’s the case with Quinn, a few free agents from the Falcons could be under consideration to wear the star in 2021.
