Oh, I agree Quinn is the ultimate player's coach ( cap backward and all ). But for some odd reason, he did not have the D ready for GB and the league took notice. Remember after the 2022 season he pretty much as 2-3 offers but decided to return for the 2023 season. After the GB his only offer was from the Commanders and he was their 3rd choice. There's a nugget out there that Jerry put in a word for him......
He's a good coach for a min but things tend to go sour after 3-4 years.
He did not have the horses. Leighton injured and no suitable depth in the linebacker room. Both starting cornerbacks hurt. Depending too much on an aging Hankins.
2022 season when they had mostly a healthy defense in the playoffs, they looked very good. Gave up only 13 points to SF in the road loss (when they had been averaging 35+ points with Purdy), not counting the 6 points gifted by Dak.
He’s very good with the modern defense as long as he has good players healthy. Like pretty much every coach.
