Quinn has been the defensive coordinator at the University of Florida for the last two seasons, but was with Pete Carroll in Seattle for his first season as the Seahawks head as their defensive line coach. He’s widely regarded around the league and has spent time with Jets, Dolphins and 49ers in the years past.
