Timing is everything. Dan Quinn arrived in Dallas with great timing. The bar was set so low for him as the Cowboys were coming off of arguably the worst defensive performance in franchise history in 2019. At a time when they were about to draft arguably the best rookie they've ever had to add to the defense. He was sure to oversee significant improvement from that mess with Mike Nolan.

Now expectations have risen and there won't be a phenom defender coming from this draft. My guess is he's not quite as popular this time next year.

I see a lot of people turning on him the same way they turned on Moore.

Also Diggs probably isn't gonna have another 10+ interception season again

Agree as many attribute SEA to him and that was not the case. Their GM even said that was all on Pete Carroll.

I will say that if Dan Quinn didn't feel the Cowboys were building the talent to elevate further he would have been much more interested in some of those other jobs. But there may also be some thoughts if McCarthy stumbles he takes over mid-season turns things around and then gets the permanent gig.

This is ridiculous, I might lose on roulette if I go all in on black... What has Dan Quinn shows as a defensive coordinator in his career? He has shown
that he is a complete bad ***! So, because we're a bunch of negative nancies around here we're going to assume he is going to slip next season?
Clown talk.....
