It didn’t take long at all for the Cowboys to find a new defensive coordinator. After firing Mike Nolan on Friday, Mike McCarthy hired former Falcons head coach Dan Quinn on Monday. Prior to his five and some change seasons in Atlanta during which time he had a career 43-42 record and appeared in the Super Bowl, Quinn was the Seahawks defensive coordinator from 2013 to 2014, winning a Super Bowl in the process.
That in and of itself is one of the reasons why the Cowboys honed in on Quinn; very few coaches can say they’ve been to a Super Bowl with two different teams.
