The 2022 Dallas Cowboys offense might suck this year, but the defense is shaping up very nice. Far less rebuilding that needs to be done on the defensive side. And no way Quinn leaves now at this point. It's way more likely that McFatty and Moore are gone after this season. Can you live with that? I could. Easy! And I say that as a big Kellen Moore fan.

I agree, that is the direction. And moore can't leave soon enough for me.

Quinn is a good defensive coordinator.
But, trust me ruffians, as head coach he'd be another Dave Campo or Chan Gailey.


LaFleur Shannahan Taylor McVay McDermott that’s the future the games going in. Heck even Siriani got better as the season went along got them to the playoffs. Jerry reaching into the past with the McCarthys the man crush on Sean Payton and yes as a HC Quinn makes a wonderful DC .

12 wins sweeping a weak division which was good brilliant but if things go rocky with MM show some imagination Jerry . To that end what did Todd Bowles do in his stint with the Jets that makes him a Pirate captain on a Buccaneer ship ?

Let's give this thought another season before we keep the tires on this deal...............

DQ is a better HC than MM. If Matt Ryan didn't choke he'd have a super bowl just like MM and I bet you wouldn't say he's just a coordinator then.

Quinn called the shots as a HC, both per offense, defense and SP teams- he allowed his coordinators to operate independently.
He had the reins in ATL, .. .McCarthy does not have the reins here in Dallas, he has to be forced to play send fiddle to Kellen Moore per
the Jones insistence. He wasn't allowed to be McCarthy in charge here.

And what McCarthy did have a say and control over per his own DC pick in Mike Nolan, became one of the worst if not The worst historical defensive season
Cowboys have ever had. ..not a testiment for a team looking for a SB wining HC and a team wanting to win now, and hit the ground running.

Stop with wanting to replace Mike McCarthy as Head Coach. You sound ridiculous!

Remember, it is because of Mike McCarthy that Dan Quinn is here and wanting to stay here as D-Coordinator.

Remember, Dan Quinn already was a Head Coach (Atlanta), and he faired very poorly at it. Clearly, the position was too big/much for him. Dan Quinn is better and best when he can solely concentrate at what he does best: be a D-Coordinator.

So stop with the ridiculous and senseless posts of wanting to replace Mike McCarthy as Head Coach with Dan Quinn. This has been going on for the past year (and usually by the same posters), and it's downright not well thought out and ignorant.
Bruh!!! Well said!

When the clown Had his say he hired the worst guy for the defense. MM is a trash coach who got carried by Rodgers

Hey, clown, get properly informed and educated before you call me out! I do my homework, unlike you!!!

Here...get a real clue! :

"Mike McCarthy’s debut season with the Dallas Cowboys was bitterly disappointing. Of course the multiple injuries, particularly to offensive starters, was major, but second to that was the frequently putrid performance of the defense. It led to the decision to not keep Mike Nolan. He may have been a bit of a scapegoat, but there is little disagreement about him failing in multiple ways. Now Dan Quinn has been brought in as the new defensive coordinator. His success or failure will not only be a big factor in the success of the team this year, it will be the primary determinant of how long McCarthy hangs onto his own job.

While the head coach avoided becoming part of an even bigger housecleaning after 2020, he still carries the weight of hiring Nolan in the first place. Jerry and Stephen Jones have the final say on things, but they have long had a more collaborative approach to running the team than many acknowledge. The original staff was mostly based on what McCarthy wanted, and presumably Quinn’s hire is the same. If the defense once again goes through a near collapse, it may be impossible for McCarthy to convince his bosses that he can do the job."

"If our assumptions about the offense are at all correct, even just getting Dallas to around average levels of effectiveness for an NFL team should get the team to the playoffs and assure that McCarthy will be back for at least another year. Real progress in the postseason, which an appearance in the NFCCG would likely represent, would even buy McCarthy some extra leeway. The credit will rightly fall mostly on Quinn, but it would be a strong argument that the head coach was able to realize his mistakes and effectively correct them.

However, if it does not go well defensively, it will absolutely blow back on McCarthy. It doesn’t matter if the defense should undergo a harsh run of injuries as the offense did last season. That is just part of what a defensive coordinator has to prepare for. If opponents are shredding the defense and running up big scores resulting in too many losses, there will be cries to dump McCarthy as well as Quinn.

Those cries would not be wrong. McCarthy was the driver in bringing Quinn aboard."

not to mention, fat boy Mike is done in Dallas. Everybody knows it. Even fat boy himself. Go follow him back to Wisconsin while he sits on his rear unemployed.

Quinn is gone after this season. If the Cowboys have a good season then he will be hired away. If they have a bad season then he will be fired.

If the Cowboys have a bad season then both squads will look bad. I mean, this offense may not be as explosive but they can still put 24 points on the board. If the defense consistently fails to stop offenses from scoring 25 points then it is a losing season.

Patience. MM has 5 games tops. Quinn has learned and continues to grow; he will lead us to the dance.

Quinn didn't do well his first head coaching stop but neither did Belichick. So Im not gonna say he isn't going to be a good head coach. I'm not a big fan of McCarthy but he is going to have another year. The one thing I see on championship teams is the players would run through a brick wall for their head coach and I haven't seen that mentality in Dallas since Jimmy. Jerry needs to find a true leader of men to coach this team and that will never happen because two leaders can't exist together.

Does it really matter who the HC is? They could have Lombardi, Landry, Noll or Grant and if they are not allowed the autonomy of other HC's, they are not as effective.

The problem is often seen as coaching when it is management.

Without the turnovers , Quinn’s defense was average at best. Quinn was no hot commodity in Atlanta, so he might jump at the chance to be the HC of a decent team. Quinn may be a decent DC, but he wasn’t that great as a HC.

I think you hit the mail on the head here.
:hammer:

Dan Quinn is an excellent defensive coordinator. But he did have a few games last year with poor game planning and execution. His defense also got run all over in the playoff loss.

But he is an excellent coordinator. But when he’s also the head coach, his defense suffers for his loss and isn’t very good.

He’s exactly where he should be.

If anyone wants McCarthy replaced after this year, hope for Sean Payton, with Quinn remaining as defensive coordinator.

McCarthy was with Aaron Rodgers for over 10 years and only went to 1 Super Bowl.

Quinn took Atlanta to a Super Bowl. I have a feeling Quinn is more of an over achiever .

McCarthy doesn’t even run his offense or defense. Just a figure head . Not impressive so far. Hard to tell any progress if any from last puppet.

No HC has much chance to overcome toxic atmosphere.


Keep trying with that. It will never work or never be true. But you go ahead and keep trying…

I’m not sure how you are measuring the results and culture but they look similar to me . Time will tell if anyone can overcome our dysfunctional ownership.

Do you think Quinn took himself off the HC market to remain as the DC?
