There are a lot of rumors surrounding the Dallas Cowboys that center on head coach Mike McCarthy’s future. The Cowboys coach’s only accomplishments are two consecutive 12-win seasons. McCarthy is expected to win by double digits for the third year in a row.
In the end, McCarthy’s lone postseason triumph during his time with Dallas is what has many questioning about his future. Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, is once again regarded as one of the best possibilities to become head coach. If Dallas falters at the end of the season, will owner Jerry Jones think about promoting Quinn in the offseason? Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine muses on this question.
“There are two primary fits for Quinn,” Ballentine explains in his November 9, 2023 article entitled “9 NFL Coordinators Who Deserve Head Coaching Interest and Their Best Fits Next Season.” “The first would be if the Cowboys fail to live up to expectations again this season and Mike McCarthy is given the ax. Quinn would be a logical choice to promote because he would bring continuity with the defense while bringing in a new face to run the offense.”
In an interview with 105.3 on October 10, Jones said, “I’m not panicked, but the gap is – when something tells you what it is, don’t try to dream that it’s something else.” “Shan & RJ” from The Fan I’m attempting to convey that we are capable of exceeding our performance from Sunday night. That is unavoidable. We have the capacity and ability to perform better. We are ready to perform better.
“…Is the quarterback here?” To put it very strongly, I think we have a quarterback who can lead us to our desired destination. We most definitely have the coaching staff on both sides of the ball. Did Sunday show that too? Nope.
Quinn has been with the Cowboys since 2021 even though other teams have expressed interest in hiring him as head coach. Quinn has demonstrated a willingness to turn down other opportunities because Jones is ready to pay him enough.
Giving Quinn the head coaching position may be the only option left at this point to retain him in Dallas for a third consecutive offseason. In the event that Arizona decides to move on from Jonathan Gannon, Ballentine says the Cardinals could be a suitable destination for Quinn.
