Twitter: Jerry says Quinn turned down a HC offer to remain here

[FLWarpigrpig]

It's concerning that the GM and Owner "believes" the guy he just gave a big raise to, may have turned down a HC job to stay. I would hope he would be sure of the status of his employees.

BS!!! Is that why he said that he "believed" that he did have an offer??? If he wants to lock Quinn up that bad, then why not make him HC now....is this just to save paying Corky ONE years salary on his contract??? I don't think that Payton will want to come here now....if that is even the plan....because signing Quinn long term tells Payton that Booger is already dictating his staff. Am I crazy here???

Is this a stab at Kellen ?

Every coach except Tuna, Jerrah dictated who was on the staff before hiring the coach. Not sure how Payton would like that.

Payton's an offensive guy. If Quinn's defense is as good or better than it was this year, I don't think Payton would have a problem with that. He went years in New Orleans trying to find a good DC. And it's possible that DC will be the next head coach of the Saints, so he possibly won't be available if Payton becomes head coach next year.

Just said it on The Fan.

Won't name the team of course.

Quinn could be our next HC.

Perhaps. I think Jerry is playing word salad games again. He knows exactly whether DQ was offered a head coaching gig. DQ works for Jerry. DQ would have told him if he was offered a job or not. Being cute doesn't wear well. Come on man.

Jerry has never learned when the owner talks too much publicly, it’s usually bad for his coaches. He does it over and over and over and over. Fools never learn.

Got a raise from the Cowboys, head coach money...still being paid by the Falcons....players love him...he has it made here.....next in line for the Cowboys head coaching job....

 

[stinkface]

Lets get real. If X reporter says "Jerry, was DQ offered a head coaching job?" Would anyone expect Jerry to say "No"? Call it the Texas Two Step.

 

[Doomsday101]

Who believes him?

I do when Quinn pulled his name for the list. Quinn was one of the hottest prospects out there which is why he was getting so many 2nd interviews and yet pulls his name off the list to stay in Dallas.

 

[CowboyFanInLexKy]

Call me crazy, but I don't think Quinn ever wanted to leave, I think he enjoy the hands on coaching.

He can be hands on as a head coach as well... I'm on the fence myself. Personally, I think he wanted to stick around to work with Parsons for at least another year to see how he progresses. But then again, HC means more money.... It's hard to tell....

 

[Risen Star]

Likely head coach in 2023, in order.

1. Dan Quinn
2. Sean Payton
3. Mike McCarthy
4. Jason Garrett

yes, he retained him because he is a very good DC who in 1 year made a big difference to this unit and they hope to build off that. Cowboys made no secret of the fact they wanted to do what they could to retain Quinn and now they have. Quinn also stated when he got hired that he loved going back to being DC and really enjoyed it and I do think his return has as much to do with finishing what he started in Dallas and the young players on this defense

[glimmerman]

Does Quinn even want the HC job here. He knows the amount of power he would have..
