It's a new era for the Washington Commanders.

Nearly a month after the team fired former coach Ron Rivera, Washington is hiring former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to be the team's 31st coach in franchise history, according to multiple reports Thursday.

Quinn had been available to hire once the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs after a wild-card round defeat against the Green Bay Packers, though the Commanders had still been interested candidates from teams that were still alive.
