Quinn has been considered one of the top defensive coordinators in the NFL, dating back to his days with the Seattle Seahawks when they won the Super Bowl. Dallas' poor showing in Sunday's game against Green Bay is not expected to impact his chances of landing one of these head coaching jobs, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

In just his second year as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Quinn took them to the Super Bowl, the one where they blew a 28-3 lead against the New England Patriots. Quinn was relieved of his duties after five years and some change on the job, finishing with a record of 43-42.

This season, Quinn's Cowboys finished with the fifth-ranked defense (299.7 yapg), fifth in scoring defense (18.5 ppg), 16th in rushing defense (112.4 ypg), and fifth in passing (187.4 ypg).
