Broncos Request Interview With Cowboys DC Dan Quinn

Published|Updated

One day after the end of the NFL regular season, the Denver Broncos are wasting no time starting the search for their new head coach.

The Broncos have requested to interview Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Quinn also interviewed with the Broncos last year before Denver ultimately hired Nathaniel Hackett.

The Broncos fired Hackett just 15 games into his first year as a head coach.

Quinn went 43-42 as the head coach of the Falcons. He went 3-2 in the playoffs and took the team to Super Bowl LI. The Cowboys hired him as their defensive coordinator in 2021.

Dallas is set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Wild Card Playoff matchup on Monday, Jan. 16.

The Broncos also plan to interview five other coaches:
