Report: Dan Quinn scheduled to undergo multiple head coaching interviews on Tuesday

The Dallas Cowboys are officially out of the playoffs after losing to the San Francisco 49ers at home 23-17 in one of the most bizarre endings to a playoff game. And now that Dallas has been eliminated, their coordinators have begun interviewing for head coaching positions.

One of the hottest names coming up for head coaching availabilities is the Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Front offices around the league are smitten with his transformation of the Cowboys’ defense. Under Quinn, the defense, from middle of the pack first forcing turnovers in 2020, to league leaders to end the regular season.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Twitter that Quinn has several interviews scheduled for this week. The list of interviews for head coaching opportunities includes the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, and Chicago Bears.

Quinn competing with Moore for head coaching spot

With eight different NFL teams currently searching for their next head coaches, there’s a good chance that Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy could be losing both of his coordinators.

According to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore are both scheduled to interview for the Denver Broncos’ head coaching position on Tuesday.

Quinn, 51, just finished his first season as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator. Prior to his time in Dallas, Quinn served as the Atlanta Falcons’ head coach from 2015-2020 – compiling a 43-42 overall record with one NFC championship.

Moore, 33, has been the offensive coordinator in Dallas since 2019 after spending the 2018 season as the team’s quarterbacks coach. A former quarterback, Moore played for the Cowboys from 2015-17 after being with the Detroit Lions from 2012-14.

Along with the Denver Broncos’ opening, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, Houston Texans and Las Vegas Raiders are all on the hunt for new head coaches.
