Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

Since Quinn took over the defense, the Cowboys rank fifth in points per game allowed and first in takeaways (93). This season the Cowboys are one of the best pass defenses in the league, ranking top-10 in yards allowed (fifth), touchdowns (10th), and interceptions (eighth)

For the last 2 years Dallas was fun as hell to watch on defense, high flying , hard hitting and creating TO's.

That has not happened in DC in years...

No we do not have Parsons or Diggs but Quinn will load up on defense in FA I bet.

Remember we have 74M and a ton of high picks.

You could say the only weak spot he had on his defense in dallass was his linebackers, and that's obviously been a huge weakness for Washington...so let's see if HE will finally upgrade this position here.

On its' face not a great cause for optimism - IIRC 28-3 wasn't the only time those Falcons teams blew big leads under Dan Quinn.

He's walking into a much worse situation here than with the Falcons too - he already had a prime Matt Ryan when he took that job.

As others have said it really depends how he fills out his coaching staff. If they emphasize he's needed more for his leadership roles and he gets a couple young stud coordinators to call plays I'd be happy. But as of now it's wait and see - this looks like they went to their fall-back choice because BJ turned them down.

Text from AFC Coach after Rivera was fired: "Quinn is THE best head coach candidate out there. Will not find a more authentic leader of men with a battle plan for victory. Period...Leader, organized, vision, communicator, ball coach."

Dan Quinn in Dallas = NUMBER 1 DEFENSE during his tenure..

No hes not a flashy young OC but Lets wait and see what he can do and who he hires as OC.


And their defense was dreadful when he took over - 31st to 16th in his first year and top 5 thereafter. Let’s give the man a chance and Peters too.

I was intrigued by Johnson but the guy was an OC for all of one season. No coach hire is a slam dunk; they all involve some risk.

I agree that the coordinator decisions and the draft are now key. And free agency where we have some coin. This team may look way different come training camp (and should). We may also have guys like Fuller and Kurl more interested in staying with a respected defensive coach.

I’m ok with this. Wanted Macdonald as my top choice, but so be it.

Every week this goes down at the end of the season it was 90 million by the time we get to free agency it will be 1 million lol

Possible DC candidates with Quinn:

*Joe Whitt Jr., Cowboys pass game coordinator
*Joe Cullen, Chiefs D-line coach

Chiefs d-line was lights out against the Ravens. Would be great hire IMO.

The other weak spot was they couldn't play from behind. They had to be a front runner defense to succeed. Hopefully he finds a DC that can build a D like the Ravens this year. The way they single handedly kept Baltimore in that playoff game against that KC offense was amazing (minus the last play from scrimmage).

Not against the run Gus and Lamar over 6.5 ypc

Ravens run offense vs. Texans:
42 carries, 229yds. 5.5ypc 2 TDs

Ravens run offense vs. Chiefs
16 carries, 81 yards, 5.1ypc, 0 TD

Chiefs defense and their line made a difference.
