Cowboys fans need to take a realistic approach to the hiring of Dan Quinn as defensive coordinator

In what has become something of a trend for the Dallas Cowboys, they have moved quickly to fill their vacancy at defensive coordinator. It only took days to replace Mike Nolan with former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, who first made his mark as the defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom. It is a bit amusing that, just like with Mike McCarthy’s hire, there were worries that the firing of the old coach was taking too long and would cost Dallas the best names out there, only to have the Cowboys get ahead of the rest of the league in filling a crucial vacancy.
