![]() On the subject of that, Quinn recently spoke to USA Today and touched on the awkwardness (our word, not his) with how he is perceived as a potential option waiting to replace Mike McCarthy. He noted that he offered to McCarthy to leave if he preferred that but that the head coach said he wanted him to stay. Instead, when that speculation mounted amid Quinn’s interview circuit, Quinn went directly to McCarthy. “‘If it’s easier for to me go, just say the word and I’m gone.’” “I was like, ‘Hey man, let’s talk about it and see what you think,’” Quinn said he told McCarthy. ![]() “‘Because I think winning is better with you here.’” “Then he kind of laughed and said, ‘You know, if this was 10 years ago, I’d say yeah, it would help for you to go. The important thing here is that McCarthy wanted Dan Quinn to stick around. It speaks to McCarthy’s confidence in his own positioning and an acknowledgment that Dan Quinn obviously does make the Cowboys better.īut the wording here is interesting. ![]() Did Dan Quinn have an absolute offer that he turned down? By saying “just say the word and I’m gone” it certainly sounds like he had another option secured. Again we know that he interviewed for multiple head coaching opportunities and that he wanted to stick around with the Cowboys, but obviously none of those teams have publicly said that they were turned down by Quinn.Īlso if we are fully discussing this, while it is noble of Quinn to go to McCarthy to talk about this subject talking about that after the fact doesn’t exactly help squash this idea.
