Cowboys DC Dan Quinn turns down an interview for Jaguars head coaching job

The Jacksonville Jaguars can scratch off one possible candidate from their head coaching search.

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will not interview with the Jaguars for their head coaching job.

Quinn is a former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons for almost six seasons; he’s infamously known for being the head coach who blew a 28-3 lead to the New England Patriots. He was fired in Week 5 of the 2020 season after a 43-42 record.

Quinn is rebuilding himself as a possible head coaching candidate by being the Cowboys defensive coordinator; he served as the interim head coach when Mike McCarthy dealt with COVID-19 issues.

The Jaguars are looking for a head coach to replace Urban Meyer, who was fired after less than one season a couple of weeks ago. Darrell Bevell has been serving as the Jaguars interim head coach.
