FRISCO, Texas -- Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will serve as the Dallas Cowboys interim coach Thursday against the New Orleans Saints with head coach Mike McCarthy missing the game because he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Quinn served as Atlanta's head coach for parts of six seasons from 2015-20, posting a 43-42 regular-season record and taking his team to Super Bowl LI. He was fired last season and has rejuvenated a Dallas defense that was coming off a season in which it allowed a franchise-record for points.
Quinn will ultimately make the final decisions, but offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and special teams coordinator John Fassel will also be heavily involved.
