Dan Quinn- Meet the Candidate- Part 5 of 12

[Mr. Scot]

As to Quinn, he's long been one of the better defensive coaches in the league, but I wouldn't rush to crown him as a head coach just yet.

He's still got some hurdles to clear before that'll be warranted.

obviously we have no idea about DC but its fuging wild we had our choice between Vrabel, Harbaugh, and Quinn. You could add Bill B in there as well.   Lets hope this works out

As Commanders coach, he's won a playoff game. Cool.

I'm gonna need to see him have a non "28-3" performance in the Super Bowl before I'll be willing to elevate him to the top tier, though.

Hes made the playoffs in roughly 50% of the seasons he has coached.  He has finished first or second in his division except 1 year.  In the three playoff appearances he has won at least one game and the others a deep run.  If thats not proof he knows what he is doing then thats on you.

But you do your thing hoss

Is Quinn the reason they put up 45 on the Lions? Is Quinn the reason they have a rookie phenom QB? Seems similar to the Falcons where the Niners took Shanny and Quinn quickly started looking like Rivera. 
Also I’m pretty sure we were asked to stop bumping these old threads…

It's 50% only if you don't count the season where he got fired after an 0-5 start. That, plus the "second place finishes" came with 7-9 records (one 8-8). Yes, he had some playoff wins and that one Super Bowl which is more infamous than famous.

As a six and a half to seven year early career span, that puts him roughly in the same tier as Ron Rivera. 

That equals "good", arguably on the cusp of "very good" but not "great".

He certainly has a chance to move to a higher tier than that in the future, but I'm not putting him there just yet.

We never had a shot at Harbaugh. Below 0%
