FRISCO, Texas -- Dan Quinn is the favorite to become the Dallas Cowboys' next defensive coordinator, according to sources.
Quinn would take over for Mike Nolan, who was fired last week by coach Mike McCarthy, and will inherit a defense that had one of the worst seasons in Cowboys history.
Quinn, who is flying to Dallas for his first interview, according to a source, was fired as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons after five games in 2020, a job he held since 2015. He posted a 43-42 record and took the Falcons to the Super Bowl in his second season.
