Dallas Cowboys are set to hire Dan Quinn as their new defensive coordinator

In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy: “Boy, that escalated quickly“. On Friday, the Dallas Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Mike Nolan after his first season in Dallas. On Monday, the team has reportedly already found his replacement.

It’s now being reported that the Cowboys have reached an agreement to hire former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn and the team’s new defensive coordinator. Prior to his just over five-year stint as the head coach of the Falcons, Quinn spent two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks as their defensive coordinator.
