Was Dan Quinn the right pick for the Dallas Cowboys?

Dan Quinn is the Dallas Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator for the 2021 season

The Dallas Cowboys defense was historically bad this season, and that meant defensive coordinator Mike Nolan was on the hot seat. He was fired after only one season with the team. Replacing him is former Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn.

Many fans may be quick to praise this decision, but I want to take a closer look if he would be the right fit. While having a well-known name and former head coach as a coordinator is great, it is nothing if he doesn’t fit in.
