Dan Quinn out as Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator and is headed to conference rival Washington per news reports.
The breaking news come as the Cowboys defense gave up three touchdowns in the first half of their only playoff game.
The decision comes are Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson reportedly pulled himself from consideration. Washington was the last team with a head coaching vacancy.
Dan Quinn Out, Not McCarthy
The situation may surprise some who though head coach Mike McCarthy would be out after the playoff disaster.
The Dallas Cowboys have not named Quinn’s replacement. It is unclear if they will consider outside coaches or someone internal.
Archer brutal on Cowboy’s Dak Prescott in comparisons to former Quarterback Tony Romo and long term success.
The ESPN staff writer said Prescott has a $59.4 million salary cap figure. This is the second largest in the NFL behind Deshaun Watson in Cleveland.
Archer covers the brutal truth of the Prescott contract noting he has a no trade clause and can not be franchised next year. The contract is much like Tony Romo’s before the end of his career and leave few options.
The Cowboys can pay him the full sum and lose out on retaining current players and chasing free agents.
Another option is to add future voidable years, but this creates long term cap problems.
Finally, they can restructure his deal meaning many more millions to a quarterback who may not have full support.
McCarthy stays SuperBowl goes appears to be the thinking of the Cowboys front office as the head coach is staying in Dallas.
Team owner and General Manager Jerry Jones put out a statement yesterday. In it he says the Cowboys are “very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals.”
His statement continues, “…and the best step forward for all of us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach.”
McCarthy has one year left on his contract and many thought it was doubtful he would return. The Sunday debacle in the NFL playoffs Wild Card round against the Green Bay Packers put his future at question.
The Cowboys gave up 48 points this past Sunday. They were the first team to lose to a 7 seed in the new playoff format.
Dan Quinn has already interviewed with the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans yesterday. He is also plans to take interviews with the Seattle Seahawks, Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Chargers later this week.
He is being considered for the head coaching vacancy at each.
McCarthy Stays SuperBowl Goes – Dak Responsible?
One reason McCarthy may stay in Dallas is the team leading in average points per game. They scored nearly thirty points per game across the seventeen game season.
Another related reason may be the resurgence of Dak Prescott. Prescott consistently led the team until the playoffs.
Prescott also came out definitively for Coach McCarthy after the playoff loss.
Prescott’s current contract counts nearly fifty million dollars towards the salary cap meaning he must either be resigned to a cap friendly deal or be traded if the Cowboys will maintain any other significant players.
The question now is how will keeping things the same change the future. It is possible McCarthy will stay and SuperBowl opportunities will go.

Stinky honey on Dak Prescott after yesterday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles putting the Cowboys two and a half games back.
After a 43-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams, Jerry Jones was quoted saying he doesn’t want to “poke the bear.” The question related to the upcoming game against the Eagles.
Dak Prescott however responded to Jones comments saying, “pour honey on me.”
He continued, “if I’m ever in a fight with a bear, pour honey on me. I’m looking forward to [that type of fight].”
Prescott ended the day sacked five times with a QBR rating of 72.5
Stinky Honey on Dak
If the season ended today, the Cowboys would be in the third Wild Card slot.
The next four games are against the Giants, Panthers, Commanders, and Seahawks. The Eagles come to Dallas for a mid December matchup.
There is still no movement on a second NFL team in Dallas. The idea was proposed by Mayor Eric Johnson caused the Cowboys to throw a flag over the idea in 2022.
An accusation against Jerry Jones goes to the question of racism in the NFL and in the Dallas Cowboys and is causing league wide ripples.
Jim Trotter, a former NFL.com columnist, has made a number of accusations against the NFL in a recent lawsuit.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones responded earlier this week saying the race-related charge “simply not accurate.”
In the lawsuit Trotter claims that he asked the Cowboys owner about blacks in the NFL.
Trotter states Jones’ response was, “If Blacks feel some kind of way, they should buy their own team and hire who they want to hire.”
Trotter also claims Bills owner, Terry Pegula, said, “if the Black players don’t like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is.”
Accusation Against Jerry Jones
Jones is currently defending multiple other lawsuits locally.
A sexual assault case against Jones moves forward per the Texas Supreme Court. It was reported last week meaning Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can be sued.
The petition was filed on in September 2020 against both Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Legal wrangling and appeals brought the matter to the Texas Supreme Court in May who issued a Friday ruling.
The suit is being brought by an anonymous woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe.
Sexual assault by Jones moves forward per the Texas Supreme Court in news from late last week meaning Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can be sued.
The petition was filed on in September 2020 against both Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Legal wrangling and appeals brought the matter to the Texas Supreme Court in May who issued a Friday ruling.
The suit is being brought by an anonymous woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe.
The suit alleges that Jones kissed her on the mouth and forcibly grabbed her without consent on September 16, 2018.
It also states the Cowboys organization knew, or should have been aware, of his misconduct.
Sexual Assault By Jones
In 2022, the Cowboys settled a case against Rich Dalrymple over similar allegations raising the question of culture at the Cowboys facilities.
Additionally, Jones has a second lawsuit in progress over his defamation of Alexandra Davis. She claims Jones is her illegitimate father.
In a March 2022 lawsuit it is alleged Jones and his representatives embarked on a public campaign attacking her character. Her suit states they made statements “based knowingly on false statements and accusations.”
Jerry Jones and Cowboys throw penalty flag all over idea of second franchise. Eric Johnson had an accident and it wasn’t a coup attempt against TC Broadnax this time. It was closer to Amber Heard testimony in her defamation trial with Johnny Depp.
In a report in TMZ, Jerry Jones blasts the mayor for talk of a second NFL franchise in North Texas, much less Dallas.
In an interview, Jones said, “I like him personally, but he doesn’t have the depth. He doesn’t have the knowledge.”
Jones was responding to Mayor Johnson’s recent suggestion the Chargers re-locate here.

Most fans agreed with Jones about Johnson, but extended it to city administration. It is also unclear if citizens heard wild laughing from the City Manager’s office.
We know Jerry Jones recently had a car accident in Dallas. We didn’t realize he would have a second one so soon running over Eric Johnson.
Cowboys Throw Penalty Flag Among Others
The Cowboys throw penalty flag on Dallas isn’t the only issue. There are problems across Dallas.
Dallas has bad economic numbers due to a permitting office that doesnt issue permits.
Despite the presentation at Wednesday’s board briefing, citizens feel crime is up. Crime is up one you look city wide and not the chief’s containment areas.
Roads are problematic throughout Dallas.
The city council has a problem getting along with one another and their city manager.
Johnson is chasing professional sports franchises instead of ensuring the city runs well.
At the same time, something is afoot. After the failed coup attempt, council members are in distress.
Council member Mendelsohn has defended the mayor to a degree some question.
“Wednesday went very, very bad for the mayor,” one person said. “She knows it, but is now arguing he somehow didn’t fall on his face.”
Several say Mendelsohn is in favor of a charter amendment supporting a strong mayor. That amendment can not happen for two years and some project longer.
A South Dallas activist said, “why would we allow a strong mayor system when we don’t have a strong mayor now?”
Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in Dallas metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League as a member club.
In 2021 they finished 12-5 and won the NFC East. They lost their first playoff game against the 10-7 San Francisco 49ers.
Dallas Cowboys Safety Kazee isn’t safe after being arrested early Tuesday morning for driving while under the influence.
Kazee was pulled over by Dallas suburban law enforcement for a traffic violation in The Colony around 3:00AM. Colony Police noticed physical signs that Kazee had been drinking. After being questioned he told the officer that he had consumed alcohol earlier in the evening.
Damontae Kazee was detained after failing a field sobriety test, and his DWI charge is a Class B misdemeanor for a first offense. The 28-year-old posted a $2,500 bond on Tuesday and was released from The Colony Municipal Jail at 12:34 p.m.
Cowboys Safety Kazee New To Team
The first year safety joined the Dallas Cowboys this year after signing a one year deal worth just over $1M. He follows coach Dan Quinn from the Atlanta Falcons where he spent his first four years.
Is Dak Prescott done in Dallas after signing a $31M contract?
The NFL Network reported that Prescott turned down a deal worth at least $33 million per season, with $100 million guaranteed. The 26-year-old instead will play on a franchise tag, which will pay Prescott $31.4 million next season, but all is not happy at The Star.
After Wednesday’s deadline passed without the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott agreeing on a long-term extension, the quarterback’s older brother made his anger and disappointment public.
This may be a precursor of things to come. As of today, the tweet is still up two days later despite massive fan reaction and media attention.
Dak Prescott
Prescott has started every game for the Cowboys since being drafted in the fourth round pick in 2016. He earned the reigns to the starting job after both Tony Romo and Kellen Moore we injured in 2016. He has led the team to a pair of playoff appearances, throwing for a career-high 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns last season.
Prescott is 40-24 in the regular season, but 1-2 in the playoffs. Other Side Dallas predicts he is gone after no more than two years.
