When Dan Quinn joined the Dallas Cowboys, he was a breath of fresh air. After Mike Nolan’s defense allowed the most points in franchise history, Quinn quickly transformed the group into one of the more formidable units in the league. The Cowboys finished within the top seven in points allowed in all three of Quinn’s seasons in Dallas. It was the first time they accomplished that feat since the mid-'90s during their last Super Bowl run.
Quinn is now the head coach of the Washington Commanders and the Cowboys have replaced him with long-time defensive coach Mike Zimmer.
