According to ESPN's Todd Archer, Dallas Cowboys' defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has expressed his desire to become a head coach again. Archer reported that team owner Jerry Jones has made adjustments to Quinn's contract in an effort to deter external interest, but speculated that Quinn might be tempted if the right opportunity presents itself.

Currently, the Cowboys boast an impressive defensive record, ranking fifth in defensive efficiency, yards allowed (187.4), and points allowed (18.5) during the regular season, as per FTN Fantasy. This is despite the team facing challenges with two regular starters, Trevon Diggs and Leighton Vander Esch, making only seven combined appearances.

The timing seems ideal for Quinn to consider pursuing head coaching opportunities, especially if the Cowboys make a deep run in the postseason. His successful tenure as the former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons has certainly put him in the spotlight, and his name has been heating up among league circles, making him one of the most sought-after head coaching candidates in this hiring cycle.

While the Cowboys continue to focus on their playoff aspirations, Quinn's aspirations as a head coach may align with a potential offer from another team. The adjustments made to his contract by Jones reflect the organization's desire to retain him, but ultimately, the decision lies with Quinn and his pursuit of a leadership role.

As the Cowboys prepare for their upcoming postseason games, the potential departure of Dan Quinn to pursue a head coaching position looms over the team. Only time will tell if the team's success in the playoffs will further solidify Quinn's standing as a highly sought-after candidate in the coaching market.
