Dan Quinn, the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, was traded to the Washington Commanders. Who Will Be In Line For His Open Spot After Him?

Dan Quinn, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator, left the team on Thursday to take a position as head coach of the Washington Commanders. Quinn stayed with Dallas for three years before his career came to an abhorrent end in the playoffs. Dan Quinn’s players learned a lot from him, even if he departed the Cowboys with his seat almost on fire. Here are some potential replacements for the open defensive coordinator position and what Dallas is currently considering.

Joe Whitt Jr. is currently the front runner to succeed Dan Quinn as the Cowboys defensive coordinator, according to Cowboys source David Moore.

Early in the coaching rotation cycle, Quinn’s soon-to-be Washington Commanders club interviewed Joe Whitt Jr., a defensive coordinator candidate. Regarding him as the second-best option among the Cowboys’ current coaching staff isn’t absurd.

Whitt worked with McCarthy for 11 seasons in Green Bay, his last year as the coordinator of the pass game. Strangely, he had the same title during Dan Quinn’s last season with the Falcons. The Cowboys should give this person a chance to lead his team as a coach.

DB’s Coach Al Harris

A remarkable phenomenon has been happening in Dallas ever since his appearance in the Cowboys locker room in 2020. DaRon Bland, a once unknown cornerback, became well-known by shattering defensive records. Trevon Diggs, the cornerback, has exceeded everyone’s expectations. Even Anthony Brown, the former Cowboy cornerback, improved from his pre-Harrison play.

The best person to fill the role of defensive coordinator would be Harris. He brought players who play the hardest position in football to a greater level than they were before. In LB DeMarvion Overshown, he would have a slightly fresh toy at his disposal in addition to a roster full of seasoned Dan Quinn Cowboys.
