In the wake of arguably the most disappointing loss in Dallas Cowboys history, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn finds himself at the center of attention.
We know that head coach Mike McCarthy is in major trouble and may very well be fired.
Quinn had been thought as a possible replacement for McCarthy. However, with the shadow of Bill Belichick looming, that idea has been largely put to bed.
Having said that, Quinn has been in high demand … At least until Sunday’s debacle.

Certainly, teams will still be interested in interviewing Quinn and seeing if he’s the right man to lead their franchise.
However, the hideous stench of Sunday’s nightmare won’t be going away anytime soon.
As bad as Dak Prescott and the offense was, Quinn’s defense was even worse … Many people are wondering if Quinn’s once-high stock will be affected by the disastrous performance.

According to Albert Breer of TheMMQB, Quinn is set to engage in virtual interviews with the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, followed by the Washington Commanders on Thursday, and the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday.

All interviews will be conducted remotely, in adherence to league guidelines that restrict in-person meetings until after the divisional round of the playoffs.
Quinn, who had initially hoped to be coaching in that round, will now channel his focus into securing his second head coaching stint in the NFL.
However, his candidacy has certainly taken a hit … Whether or not he will miss out on a head coaching job remains to be seen.

What are your thoughts on Quinn?
Are people overreacting to the loss on Sunday?
Or should his inexplicable defensive gameplan be held against him when it comes to considering him for a head coaching job?
At the end of the day, do you think the Seattle Seahawks will swoop in and hire him???
