I can't link this. Just passing on some comments.

Do you know how good you have to be to fail in your third Super Bowl in four years?
It sounds to me like the Cowboys have two guys (McCarthy and Quinn) who know a little about winning on their coaching staff, and they have recently taken the spots of guys who did not know nearly as much. You can tell me that they needed incredible players to get there. I agree. Every coach does. Quinn and McCarthy do not have magic spells and enough sleight of hand to replace the talent deficiency this defense surely has. But you cannot add that in January. It arrives in the spring.
Let me say it again, despite the overall cynicism: I am not saying Quinn is a great head coach or a great GM. But if you are looking for someone who understands how to coordinate a championship defense, you have one in Dan Quinn. There is a very long list of excellent coordinators who were not excellent head coaches. It happens. That doesn’t mean this pairing will automatically work, but in a world where there was literally nobody they could hire who would be better, I suggest we take a deep breath and enjoy a solid move for once.
