Here we go again.
For the second season in a row, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will be a top candidate for the vacant Denver Broncos head coaching job, according to reports.
Quinn was one of the top candidates for the Broncos last season, with many predicting him to ultimately take the job, before Denver ultimately went in a different direction.
The Broncos, of course, fired first year coach Nathaniel Hackett after a disastrous 5-12 season.
And now, that brings Quinn, perhaps the person that they have regrets about not hiring in the first place back into the fold.
In his first year in Dallas, Quinn resurrected a historically bad Cowboys defense, and nearly over night, turned them into one of the top units in the NFL in 2021.

In 2022, before key injuries began to set in, they were even better. And even with the injury issues, Quinn has the Cowboys as a top-5 scoring defense and a top-10 total defense.
They also ranked No. 2 in the NFL in turnover margin, and led the league with 33 takeaways.
Whether or not Quinn will be able to resist a second overture from the Broncos remains to be seen.
But for now, he most focus on getting the Cowboys past Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
