During a radio spot last week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stopped well short of endorsing coach Mike McCarthy, amid a wave of firings in the NFL. But on a Friday appearance on 105.3 The Fan, he said that he was posturing as he sought to keep defensive coordinator Dan Quinn in place, and McCarthy was never “twisting in the wind.”
On Thursday, it was confirmed that Quinn will remain with Dallas in 2022, after helping revamp the defense that struggled mightily a year before his arrival. He was a candidate for multiple head coaching jobs around the league.
