Tom Pelissero reports that the Titans have requested to interview Cowboys DC Dan Quinn for their head coaching vacancy.
The following is a current list of coaches set to interview for the position:
- Lions DC Aaron Glenn (Requested Interview)
- Raiders Interim HC Antonio Pierce (Requested Interview)
- Cowboys DC Dan Quinn (Requested Interview)
- Bengals OC Brian Callahan
Quinn also has interest from the Chargers, Commanders, and Panthers. He is once again considered to be one of the best head-coaching candidates this cycle. Jonathan Jones and others have reported that Quinn is also a leading candidate in Seattle.
Quinn, 53, got his start in the NFL in 2001 with the 49ers as a defensive quality control coach before being promoted to defensive line coach. He spent time with the Dolphins, Jets, and Seahawks in the same position before being promoted to defensive coordinator in Seattle in 2013.
Quinn was hired by the Falcons as their head coach in 2015. He helped guide the team to a Super Bowl appearance in his second year in 2016.
The Cowboys hired Quinn as their defensive coordinator last January and Dallas’ defense immediately became one of the NFL’s best.
As the Falcons’ head coach, Quinn led the team to a record of 43-42 (50.5 percent) over the course of six seasons, which includes two playoff appearances.
We will have more news on both the Titans and Quinn as it becomes available.
