The Cowboys got their man and now let’s see what he does to fix this defense.
The Dallas Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Mike Nolan on Friday.
On Monday, they agreed in principle to replace Nolan with former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, according to multiple reports. NFL Network reported the news first. Quinn flew to Dallas for formal in-person interviews Monday, per reports, and the decision came quickly.
Nolan’s one-year tenure ended after a historically bad season in which the Cowboys allowed more points (473) and more touchdowns (57) than any unit in the Cowboys’ 61-season history.
