Twitter: Dan Quinn won't interview with Jaguars

[G2]

I'm not sure why anyone is so confident he will go anywhere.

I'm not sure why anyone is so confident he will go anywhere.

He's taken our defense from the bottom of the pit to the top 3. Not just that but he's done with missing 3 key starters for several games. In other words, he's proving he can turn your team's D into the top 10 with a few pieces.

Here's the thing. There is no salary cap when it comes to coaching personnel. Quinn can get hefty extended contract from the Cowboys. His head coaching career took a nose dive with the Falcons. He already stated he is not interviewing in this 2-week window with the Jaguars. Quinn seems ecstatic being the defensive coordinator with the Cowboys and he had input in the draft and got most of what he needed. Do I know for sure that Quinn isn't going anywhere? Of course not, but there are many positive variables that could keep him here.

Fans place entirely too much emphasis on winning and the thought that an asst coach would rather make less money and be on a winning team than be promoted to a HC of a losing team is laughable.

It’s either totally self centered for the Cowboys interest or they have never had ambitions to prosperity of their own. Not sure what motivates such a mentality.

That doesn't translate to him leaving. I mean, the season isn't even over and already people think he's leaving with players. That's a little unrealistic.
It would make more sense to speculate that he'd rather stay in Dallas and ride this wave.

I see what you're saying but with any promotion, strike while your iron is hot. Next year's results aren't promising.......couple major injuries could drop your D from top 5 to middle of the pack. Look at KM ....... one of the hottest names after the first 6-7 games but now he's barely mentioned.

I agree. He’s definitely not going anywhere this year riding the wave out. But I think it’s naive not to believe if he’s pursued next year after the season he won’t entertain HC offers.

Most coaches are usually looking to move up. Especially one who’s already been HC. Only exceptions are ones expected to take over in current venue.

The fact you’re part of a winning situation creates the attraction and interest . We’ve seen this before in prior eras losing great asst coaches. I’ve just never seen this resentment from fans for the pursuit of these coaches seeking to move up.

In the old days it was a source of pride when coaches like Ditka, Reeves, Stallings , Wanstadt, Turner and others were pursued because of their success in Dallas.

Right

You answer the phone when it’s ringing. No guarantees next year they’ll be a hot commodity.

Yes but we have to remember we’ve added some key talent.

This is first year in awhile we’ve had two Pro Bowlers on defense.

Our defensive drafts last two years is the difference.

In short, I understand he's qualified to be a HC, but that doesn't mean that's what he wants or will want. What we do know is that he's been a much more successful DC than HC and it's not even debatable. Couple that with the simple fact that in Jacksonville, it's a complete rebuild minus a QB and WR. Dallas is stacked and has WAY more qualified staffing. It's the most coveted place to coach with the best facilities. Just my opinion.
If I were to bet, I think he stays in Dallas at least another year. This group is special and he knows it.

So, we think asst coaches would rather be in a winning situation than be their own boss with potential to build their own success.

That’s like thinking a player would rather be a backup on the bench for a winning team than a starter on a losing team.

I just don’t believe that’s the norm. History would suggest it’s not. Most coaches are looking to move up.

And it appears Quinn may get his pick of the litter and why he’s turned down this interview at least for now. He’s probably eying Seattle.

Jaguars: Hello, Dan?

Quinn: I'm sorry you have the wrong number.

Jaguars: “Hello Dan, this is the Jacksonville Jaguars.”

Quinn: “You mean the Jaguars who no longer have Ramsey or Ngakoue?”

Jaguars: “Yes, that’s correct.”

Quinn: “I’m sorry, you’ve got the wrong number.”

Our defensive drafts last two years is the difference.

True but someone tweeted last week that our D only has 2 starters that were 1st round picks. The rest are 2nd, 3rd, and mid-rounders.

 

[Diehardblues]

Players much like coaches are serving their own self interest. Much like we are in society.

We don’t stay at our current job if we have the opportunity to earn much more and become the boss . At least not those driven with such ambition.

Perhaps that’s the mentality we are seeing here with some fans. They can’t imagine relocating to enhance their careers and livelihood. Or it’s just another example of Homerish where they simply don’t want them to leave which is choosing our own self interest over the coaches. I’m not quite sure what to make of it.

Yes but those behind the 1st round are making the difference after Parsons . We’ve always said that how you build a contender is hitting on middle rounds.

100%.......just read one writer suggesting there could be 4-5 openings ( Jags, Raiders, Vikings, Broncos, Bears, and maybe Seahawks)

 

[blueblood70]

fist bump dans been proving many people wrong all year. No distractions. its the correct thing to do his statement was priceless.

still work to do..will Moore follow suit we will find out his loyalties .. going to an interview duding playoff run with hoes of sb is like part of your team going to Cabo on the bye..yes it if. Prove me wrong.

the job will be there after the season if they want you bad enough,.they will wait.

Taking the Jags job is basically being made Captain of the Titanic with no control over the ship's speed and only a piece of balsa wood for the rudder.

No, I'm speculating that Quinn will stay in Dallas, I'm not sure why you added "Assistant coaches" as if I'm talking about anyone else, let alone generalizing all coaches. Let's not put words in others mouths to fluff up a narrative.
No, it's nothing like a player wanting to be a back up, that makes zero sense. Completely unrelated.
Lastly, there is no vacancy in Seattle. There's no available job to be eying. While Seattle is having a down year, he's been pretty successful, last year he won the division. 9 of 12 seasons in the playoffs. Sounds more like media drama.
We'll see, anything could happen. But I tend to think if he turned an opportunity to be a HC, he's likely not ready to attempt a move back up.

Yeah no. It's a business. Asking a team to wait for maybe a month and half to talk to you would essentially be telling them no.

I know Go Cowboys and everything but if you want to be a head coach you need to take the interviews when you can get them.

i have my opioid and yes i say they need to stay focused, keep the routines that got them here..

romo and witten are humans and felt a break from the media and mess was why they went to cabo..also not a big deal to most but hese forumns went nutz.

so i say they are on the same level for those that believe that was a mistake..both were breaking form the everyday habits that got them to 11-4 and got them in the payoffs now you go talk to other teams and stop your routines.
sorry its either the same or neither's a big deal.
