So, NHL Vancouver Canucks Jersey why did he elect to stay with the Cowboys?According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, Quinn is staying in Dallas for a couple of reasons. Team owner Jerry Jones wanted him back andQuinn thoroughly enjoyed his first season coaching with the Cowboys.Cowboys DC Dan Quinn confirmed to me that he has, indeed, told teams that hes decided to stay in Dallas. Returned to town last night after interviewing with the Bears.The Joneses love him and wanted him back badly. And he had more fun coaching last year than he has in years. Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) It's easy to understand why the Cowboys wanted Quinn back so badly. The Cowboys were a bottom-five scoring defenseand had one of theNFL's worst run defenses under Mike Nolan in 2020. Quinn resurrected the defense in 2021, turning it into a top-10 scoring unit that was solid against both the run and pa s.Quinn turned first-round pick Micah Teddy Blueger Jersey Parsons into a do-it-all player on the defensive front who is a shoo-in to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, he also developed Randy Gregory and Trevon Diggs, among others, into key playmakers for the unit.BIG BEN: Quinn also explained late in the regular season that he wouldn't take a head coaching job just to have it.

"I wanted to come in here and have a blast and hopefully kick a s and make an impact. ... If those moments come, I'll be ready for them if the right scenario came about but honestly I'm having a blast right here with this crew and going for it. That's Thatcher Demko Jersey where my mind is, that's where my heart is. I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about down the road or what's next. I just like really being in the moment with the guys."Evidently, Quinn didn't view any of those openings Vincent Desharnais Jersey as the right scenario. Or perhaps he was interested in the Broncos and Bears jobs, for which he was a finalist, but things didn't work out. That would explain why his return to Dallas was reported shortly after Eberflus was hired.Either way, Quinnis ultimately going back to Dallas. The Cowboys will avoid having to find their fourth defensive coordinator in as many years thanks to his return.RIVERA:
