Gus Bradley built that Seattle defense. He did such a good job, he got the Jaguars HC job in 2013. The year Quinn took over a stockpile of young talent on defense that was so deep and talented. They had so much talent up front, they could constantly rotate guys all game to stay fresh and get after the QB.

Switzer took over an extremely talented team in place and had zero work to do. Just keep the car on the road with the cruise control on. And he did just that. Won a ring. So did Quinn.

When Quinn went to Atlanta, his defenses were trash. And yes, he had a big part of those defenses. It was the same as when Garrett was the HC but he was still responsible for the offense. The gameplan and playcalling. Quinn was in charge of those defenses that were really bad. Quinn is also responsible for turning the Falcons into a running meme of how many historic leads they have blown. The Super Bowl is obviously the biggest but they have so many more. Cowboys fans here will be well aware of one of them this season.

I don't think one person on our defense this year could even start for his Seattle defense and many probably could not even make the 2 deep.

Spare me he was the DC at Seattle 7 years ago. Marinelli was apart of great defenses and got a ring. And we saw how he worked out.

Another recycled, retread head coach hire.

DLaw would disagree. But he’s the only one.

This is so disgusting and boring...

The Cowboys can't find an up coming DC.

Quinn is an Ace and a great Coach but this recycle and retread is pathetic.

I just hope he stays away from the players and handles scheme stuff and not teaching.

He's an "Ace and a great coach" but you don't want him because he's been a DC before?? Makes sense. He's been to three Super Bowls for crying outloud!!

Exactly and he did what anyone would do in his position to come out of retirement to redeem himself by coaching his dream job.

I think we could have won more if younger Switzer was there in 96 and 97.

Wrong analogy. Switzer was one of the winnigest coaches and still a top winner record wise . Switzer had to take over a very tale red cowboys team and contend with Jerry’s interference and manage players egos , but still won a super bowl .

Quinn has to also be given a chance , but his big collapses in the super bowl is an alarming anecdote.

Or you could say Quinn took them to new heights boasting the number 1 defense in yards and points. Then Kris Richard became the defense coordinator. Maybe Richard was the one winning with Quinn's defense and not Gus Bradley's?

Regardless, Quinn still coached teams to 3 Super Bowls and I don't think that happens by accident. Also for the record Quinn was the defensive coordinator for the Falcons only 1 year and inherited an awful defense too. It's funny we keep bringing in coaches from questionable defenses, but willing to give him a chance to right the ship.

and many here on this board are optimistic and content with this hire. That’s been the problem for 25 years. “Content”. Jerry’s been “content”. Jason Garrett was “content”. The players are “content”. There has never been a want for more, hence our cycle of failure.
