Four head coaching candidates Broncos need to shy away from
Dan Quinn, Defensive Coordinator, Dallas Cowboys
One of the hottest names out there right now is that of Dan Quinn, who has had his name attached to pretty much every current vacancy. That is largely in part to do with what he has done with the Dallas Cowboys defense this year.
Quinn also took the Atlanta Falcons to the Super Bowl not long ago so he is certainly not the worst candidate. But he’s also not the best.
The Broncos just let go of a defensive-minded guy and it seems like it is time for the Broncos to invest in an offensive mind. Vic Fangio didn’t work out and neither did Vance Joseph before him. Both were defensive coaches, like Quinn.
It’s time to buck the trend. It’s time to take things in a different direction.
Quinn may be one of those guys who is just a great defensive coordinator, like Fangio. As quickly as the Falcons ran him out after a Super Bowl appearance, he shouldn’t come back to the head coaching ranks just as quickly based on one good defensive season in which he had the benefit of having a generational player (Micah Parsons) on his roster.

It’s not a hard pass on Quinn, but it’s a pass for me.
