Despite speaking with half a dozen NFL teams about filling their head coaching vacancy, Dan Quinn decided to stay on with the Dallas Cowboys as the defensive coordinator.
Quinn played a part in revamping the Dallas defense schematically and personnel wise, helping transform the unit from one of the league’s biggest liabilities in 2020, to a fiery group that led the NFL in takeaways and was just seventh in total scoring defense.
Judging by the reaction when it was announced Quinn was coming back to Dallas, it’s clear the majority of Cowboys defenders thoroughly enjoyed working with the former Falcons’ head coach, and his return may give the club an inside track on retaining the following free agents.
