The Future is Dan Quinn

[Batman1980]

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

I think Quinn knows our defense is still a work in progress. So if he can get them to go from average to above average 2 years after being historically bad, that will help his chances of becoming a HC for a good team.

No, he didn’t get the situation or team he was hoping for.

My hunch is he stayed to place himself in a more favorable position for a HC position moving forward.

Anyone that's a fan of the 25th ranked offensive coordinator Kellen Moore obviously isn't aware of his poor play calling whose been exposed several times last season because of it.

Any HC that went through a pandemic which cause havoc in the sports world with no practices/scrimmages, limited players & still pulled off 6 wins in his first season, made a statement. The 2nd season MM doubled the wins. And calling another human being names, "McFatty", tells me exactly what type/kind of individual you are. It goes without saying that you'll have health issues as well when getting older. No one escapes it!

Amen, sis!!!

Love Quinn. He brings a fire to the job and I’d be okay with him as HC if we don’t bring SP in. I think MM is a placeholder and offers very little.

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.

wrong just because assistants like Quinn, wade and many others do well at their current positions doesn't make them a better candidate for a HC position..dont be fooled, weve seen it before.. many fail at the next level and end up back as an Assistant. Lets stop blaming MM for issues we may have had or had in 2 seasons seriously season 1 lost 17 players and the QB 12-5 his second season with a mostly healthy roster..,lets stop acting as if hes doing a bad job.

DQ btw where was that defense the first 4 possessions in the 9er game his guys jumped off sides 3 times to give the 9ers time eating reset on drives in the 2nd half..9ers chewed through clock all game that not all on our offense.

we won and lost as a team..

DQ while he greatly improved a horrible defense from 2020 its not like we had the 2000 Ravens defense.

Wake up, you are being blinded. Somehow our offense was to blame for the raiders game?? how about the Denver game where was the defense, how about the NE game, saw the offense have to keep making comebacks all the way to OT? game 1 against the Bucs didn't see much defense, saw a ton of offense., when needed down the stretch to make critical stops they may have played well but no way im dismissing the defense misfires as well??

In reality the first 7 games of the year our offense was running like a top 3 unit and was helping the defense a lot..the run game was so good it created easier passing and let the defense rest.

how short or selective are some of you alls memories? again we won and lost as a team, many factors on all 3 units fell short at times.

Quinn could be gone if he’s not given the head coaching job after this season. He’ll be a hot commodity once again if the defense continues to make progress. I don’t want him as the Cowboys next head coach! He’s already proven that he’s a better DC than an HC.

we dont agree on much but for sure i feel the same way.

however, if DQ leaves we need a replacement that can simply keep the defense moving along not come in and make changes.,. so someone on the staff or from the Quinn style of defensive coaching schemes.

 

[blueblood70]

Based on how the NFL and this Cowboy team operates.....I said last offseason we would be more impressed with defense than the offense....

I think its going to be the opposite this year. WE have low expectations for the offense and it will be solid...but the defense will somehow have some ugly warts on it. Never fails.

not sure about all that but agree the defense while greatly improved last year , they will have to be better because no way they get those TO numbers..thats not a given so they will need to be better playing without a bunch of turnovers. they for sure need to improve on not giving up the big chunk plays because Diggs dug them out of drives they were being marched on up until the INTs..

I think he is waiting for that SEA job. Carroll is 70 and they're picked to finish 4th in the West.

You're like PappyDog. You will lose the bet and not live up to it. I don't trust you online trolls.

I’m not an online troll. Don’t compare me to a troll. Just bc I don’t think MM lasts more than 1 more season doesn’t make me a troll. Get a grip.

+1

Some will continue to assume McCarthy went out and recruited Quinn to be come here as DC,... when it was management that went out
recruited Quinn to come here and "recommended" (insist?) that he'd be the DC here.

you are also making an assumption that it was NOT MM.

how do you know? you don't.

lets stop acting as if your opinion is more true than others. You trying to tell me that when the jones family had the post 2020 exit meetings that MM wasn't in long meeting to agree on removing Nolan and who he might want as the next DC?? Ie they came together as a FO and made list then went oft to recruit those on the list to see if they were interested...

that's closer to how all companies and teams work, the HC is in on all FO decisions regardless of if they carry out the HC wishes, hes at least allowed to make suggestions and those suggestions are strongly considered.

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.

Its not hard. Wins.

How many years did it take your charity case yo get to 12?

Now how many years did it take McCarthy?

Its not hard at all. In fact, you can’t miss it.

 

[Stash]

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

Eventually, yes. When he didn’t get (or maybe want) the few jobs he interviewed for, and Jerry gave him a nice raise, he realized how good he’s got it right now.

Short of being a head coach, he gets anything and everything he asks for. He’s got it good and he knows it. The grass isn’t always greener.

In the end there’s been no more success thus far. We’ll see . But I appreciate describing what your measurement is.

I certainly expect more from a proven veteran HC. But again awful difficult to overcome our toxic culture with this dysfunctional ownership.

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.

Not sure about this ......just me, I see one of two things happen with Quinn after this season. He leaves for HC job or stays and replaces MM as our next head coach. Actually, the writing is on the wall for MM......think about it, why would Jerry and Quinn ink a multi-year deal for him as a DC knowing very well he could leave any time for an HC with another team. I honestly think this is it for Mike. He needs a min deep postseason run or he's out and Quinn's in.

Dan Quinn is staying put. On Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan that he’s signed his defensive coordinator to an extension that will keep him in place “for years to come,”

Fact: McCarthy and Quinn have both been head coaches in the NFL.
Fact: Both had top NFL quarterbacks.
Fact: McCarthy's team won a SB.
Fact: Quinn's team lost a SB.

Of course, there's more to it than that, but facts are facts that you have to factor in...

 

[Stash]

And you think your judging one guy based on two years is equal to the 10-plus years the other guy got?

We’ll see . But I appreciate describing what your measurement is.

It’s the measurement.

Anything else is willful ignorance.

So, if 2 SB caliber coaches can’t take us to the Super Bowl then it’s possible no one can in this toxic atmosphere under our dysfunctional ownership.

 

[TheCritic]

Bottom line is that ever since McFatty became the HC, the offense has gotten worse, not better. And no amount of Canadian thinking is going to change that.

Playoff success used to be the measurement.

My expectations are higher with a proven championship HC assuming winning 1 in about 12 years is good with arguably one of the greatest QB of this era.

Unfortunately this era no HC has been able to overcome our toxic culture under this dysfunctional ownership.
