Things changed for the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday when it was announced that defensive coordinator Dan Quinn would be leaving the team to become the next head coach of the Washington Commanders.
Quinn served as the Cowboys' DC for three seasons and had incredible results for most of those seasons. There were some issues in the second half of his final season in Dallas, and questions were starting to arise as to what was going on.
The Cowboys need a new defensive coordinator with Quinn's departure, and interviews will apparently take place within the next few days.
