The Dallas Cowboys’ ugly season-ending loss to the Green Bay Packers does not appear to have hindered Dan Quinn’s market for head coaching jobs.
Quinn already has four job interviews lined up, according to Albert Breer of SI. The Cowboys defensive coordinator will speak with the Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans, Washington Commanders, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Interestingly, Quinn does not appear to have anything set up with the Seattle Seahawks, even though he has been widely linked to that job. That, of course, could easily change at any time.
Quinn’s defense was on the wrong end of a 48-32 battering at the hands of the Packers on Sunday, but it does not appear to have impacted his market. He has a sturdy resume and the Cowboys’ defense was excellent for much of the season, so Sunday’s outcome will be viewed as an anomaly.
It is also possible that Quinn could be in the frame if the Cowboys decide to move on from Mike McCarthy. However, another coach might be too tempting to pass up in that scenario.
