In a surprising twist of events, FanDuel Sportsbook has revealed that Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is the overwhelming favorite to take over as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. This news comes shortly after Seattle's previous head coach, Pete Carroll, stepped down from the position he held for over a decade.

Quinn, who has long been on Seattle's radar, recently had an interview with the team immediately after the Cowboys' season came to an unexpected end. Despite the Cowboys' disappointing playoff performance, with the team allowing a staggering 48 points to the Green Bay Packers, Quinn's potential as a head coach remains highly regarded.

Leading the odds by a significant margin at -240, Quinn stands as the frontrunner for the Seahawks' coaching position. Behind him is Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson at +550, whose reputation as a talented play-caller in Detroit has garnered attention from multiple teams this offseason.

Quinn's previous success with the Seahawks cannot be overlooked. As the defensive coordinator of the legendary "Legion of Boom" in 2013, he played a crucial role in helping the team secure a Super Bowl victory. After this triumph, Quinn departed for Atlanta to become the head coach of the Falcons, a position he held during the infamous 2016 Super Bowl collapse against the Patriots.

Having since joined the Dallas Cowboys as their defensive coordinator, Quinn has demonstrated similar success to what he achieved in Seattle years ago. However, the recent playoff loss against the Packers, where the Cowboys' defense struggled to contain Jordan Love and Aaron Jones, raises questions about how Quinn's potential appointment as the Seahawks' head coach will be received by fans and analysts alike.

The Seahawks' interest in Quinn comes as no surprise, given their desire to bring in a coach with previous experience and success with the franchise. While Quinn's defensive expertise is undeniable, his ability to lead and make necessary adjustments as a head coach remains a topic of discussion.

As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on the Seattle Seahawks as they make their decision regarding their next head coach. With Dan Quinn emerging as the frontrunner, it will be interesting to see if the Seahawks are willing to overlook the Cowboys' playoff disappointment in favor of his proven coaching abilities.
