Dan Quinn hired as new Defensive Coordinator

[Cowboysrock55]

Damn why would we want Quinn? Am I missing something here? The Falcons never had an elite defense.

Probably because of the number 1 defense he coached with the Seahawks and Superbowl appearance with the Falcons.

I dunno. That defense had talent this defense just doesn't have.

Yeah I mean he isn't going to spin shit into gold. We will need to improve the talent on defense. Luckily defensive rebuilds happen in an offseason all the time in the NFL.

Funny thing is it was the secondary that made that Seahawks defense great. So we may be in for some pissed off Cowboys fans with the defensive moves.

 

[Simpleton]

That is exactly where I am.

Not comforting. But it is what it is.

This is about as good as you could hope for with who's available unless you want to roll the dice on a complete unknown similar to how the Rams plucked Staley out of relative obscurity.

Booze would have been pissed about that too because as fans we don't know anything about those coaches.

Safety should be much more of a priority over CB, so hopefully not.

Yeah that single high safety is super important in a cover 3.

 

[NoDak]

Quinn, eh? Not bad. At least he's had some good success as a DC.

So much for the panic over Whitt and that other whatshisname.

Although with this hire, I think CB just jumped up the priority list for our first rounder.

It's imperative we get some talent all over this defense.

 

[Rev]

I dunno. That defense had talent this defense just doesn't have.

He had a couple of top 10 defenses in Atlanta I believe.

I am not pissed, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

That is it...period.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Ok pissed was a bit extreme. Shall I go with not satisfied?

 

[Tony D]

I saw something that showed the Falcons were pretty much at the bottom of the league for cap money spent on the defense every year Quinn was there. So obviously talent was an issue with the Atlanta defense.

I guess the Cowboys were at the bottom of the league this year.

Dallas Cowboys Hire former Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn As New Defensive Coordinator

 

[Genghis Khan]

Look at all those top 20s!

 

[Cotton]

And if Lee wants to coach our LBers, I have no issue with him stepping into that role immediately.

I would actually love this.

 

[Cotton]

I'm fine with Quinn. He wasn't my first choice, but he certainly wasn't in the second tier. Just come in, smack some bitches around and get rid of the ones that cry about it.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Look at all those top 20s!

Yeah not sure how much faith I put in DVOA but that 2017 season I think was the only year of their defense was top 10. Both points and yards were top 10.
