Superstar pass rusher projected to be acquired by the Dallas Cowboys in an unexpected blockbuster trade
For the foreseeable future, the Cowboys’ rival, the Washington Commanders, will be seeing their former defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn, twice a year as their head coach. In addition, he appointed Joe Whitt Jr. as Washington’s new defensive coordinator and secondary coach for passing games.
Quinn was a major factor in the Cowboys defense’s turnaround, as they allowed 29.6 points per game in 2020. When he was the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, the defense finished in the top 10 in terms of points allowed, coming in fifth in 2023. In addition, the Cowboys tied for 12th place in turnovers and fifth in total yards allowed. The Associated Press awarded him Assistant Coach of the Year in 2021.
Dan Quinn expressed his gratitude to Coach Mike McCarthy, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, and the entire Dallas Cowboys organization for the previous three seasons. “In a very short period of time, the players, coaching staff, and everyone else in the organization became family.” Although Adam, the ownership group, and I have a big task ahead of us, we’re all working together to achieve our goal of regularly competing for Super Bowls year after year.
