The Denver Broncosthe Arizona Cardinals and the Indianapolis Colts front offices have been informed by Dan Quinn about his intentions to remain with the Dallas Cowboys as their defensive coordinator for the foreseable future, as it’s his desire to win a Vince Lombardi Trophy with the storied franchise.
Quinn thanked the interested teams for the opportunity and will continue to work with tremendous defensive players like Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons in Dallas.
Dan Quinn has enjoyed success as a head coach in the past, even reaching the Super Bowl during his tenure with the Atlanta Falconswhich he lost to Tom Brady and the Patriots in the greatest comeback ever, when they led 28-3 in the third quarter.
This announcement came on the same day that the Cowboys announced they were letting go of six assistant coaches in Mike McCarthy’s staff, four days after the team’s loss in the Divisional Round of the playoffs against the 49ers.
Kellen Moore’s future with the Cowboys in uncertain
Kellen Moorethe offensive coordinator for the Cowboys, was a top candidate to land the Carolina Panthers job, which ultimately was landed by Frank Reich earlier today.
A report by Ian Rapoport expressed that his interview process with the different franchises that were and are still looking to fill their head coaching position had been great for Kellen Moore, making him a candidate in all future head coaching searchs.
But his future with the Dallas Cowboys isn’t secured, as head coach Mike McCarthy wouldn’t guarantee that Moore would return to the Cowboys if he isn’t hired for a head coaching position.
