According to some, he was overly friendly with Dallas Cowboys defenders.
The dust has finally settled on Dan Quinn’s resignation from the Dallas Cowboys. While he is the Washington Commanders’ new head coach, Mike Zimmer has taken over.
Quinn leaves enormous shoes to fill, as the Cowboys defense prospered under his supervision over three years. Turnovers were originally uncommon for this franchise, but they have become more prevalent in the last thousand days.
Despite this, many Cowboys supporters were relieved to see him leave, especially to join a division foe, given how the second half of the previous season had gone. Dan Quinn’s organization became almost unrecognizable from who they had been for the duration of his time.
Now that Quinn is fully out of the picture, people are talking about what may have worked better with him, and one former Cowboys head coach has one particular suggestion.
Dan Quinn may have been “too buddy-buddy” with players, according to Dave Campo.
Information regarding historical periods or circumstances typically appears after they have passed. Now that Dan Quinn is coaching for a different team, conversations about his time with the Cowboys are taking on a different tone.
Dave Campo, the former head coach of the Cowboys, brought up one recent conversation. During his appearance on San Antonio’s Sports Star on Thursday, Campo expressed his belief that Dan might have been “too buddy-buddy” with his players, based on some hearsay.
Without a question, one of Dan Quinn’s most notable qualities was his renowned closeness to his Cowboys teammates. Any kind of quality has advantages and disadvantages, and it’s reasonable to speculate that Quinn may have flown too close to the sun and lacked some accountability to the squad.
That seems like a significant claim to make, so it’s intriguing that Campo felt at ease making it public. Since Mike Zimmer is perceived as a bit of a disciplinarian, it stands to reason that he would be the complete opposite of “buddy-buddy.” Additionally, since the team selected him, it is likely that they intended to switch to the other candidate.
