The Dallas Cowboys got some wonderful news on Thursday when defensive coordinator Dan Quinn made it official that he was returning in 2023. While this is a huge win for the organization as a whole, is it possible that Quinn’s return could ultimately be bad news for head coach Mike McCarthy?
Naturally, getting Quinn back has plenty of positives for McCarthy. After the disastrous one-year tenure of Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator in 2020, Quinn arrived and immediately put the Cowboys’ defense on the map. Getting Micah Parsons in the 2021 Draft certainly didn’t hurt either, but Quinn’s been instrumental in his development and that of other young studs.
