The Cowboys’ season run came to a screeching and sudden halt last Sunday, but Dan Quinn has kept himself awfully busy since then. The defensive coordinator completed another head-coach interview on Saturday of the divisional-round weekend, and has another apparently slated for Monday.
Quinn will sit down with the New York Giants front office for an in-person meeting regarding their current opening, according to NFL insider Albert Breer. It will be Quinn’s fifth interview in seven days, and the third to be conducted in-person.
Quinn met with the Chicago Bears on Saturday via Zoom, according to the team. He was the tenth candidate to be screened for the head coaching position left vacant when Matt Nagy was fired following the regular season.
After Broncos team representatives came to Dallas to meet with Quinn on Tuesday, the DC met virtually with Minnesota on Wednesday and then reportedly traveled to Miami on Thursday. His interview with the Giants will take place in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

For Quinn, it will be something of a homecoming. He is a New Jersey native and grew up following Big Blue.
“I grew up probably twenty miles west of Manhattan,” Quinn said last month prior to the Cowboys’ Week 15 visit to MetLife Stadium. “Kind of my first love of football was in New Jersey and watching the Giants play growing up.”
The Giants hired Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Joe Schoen just last week to be their new GM; he’ll be the Giants’ fifth general manager in the last 41 years.
