I sincerely doubt Dan Quinn gets another HC job. He's in the perfect spot
If you're right, which I doubt, that would make it more likely the Packers could get him for DC.
Dan Quinn? Why would he leave Dallas if he's thriving. Maybe down the road when his message inevitably gets old and he gets recycled. Al Harris? Yes, I agree it makes it more likely.
Why would anyone hire DQ as a head coach when he's been there, done that, and shown he's not great at it?
"Joe Barry. The same Joe Barry who led the 2008 Detroit Lions 0-16 defense and never produced a top-20 defense in any stint as defensive coordinator."
Came across this in an article. It says a lot.
Hopefully Matt's answer would be:

Joe Whitt might be ok; but I don't wanna hire wild cards.
I'd also be happy with Saleh, and Bowles as Bobble noted
Kelvin Sheppard looks interesting. Up and comer.
Yuck, mostly. Also, just a listicle to fill digital space and a deadline.Quote:
Meh. Detroit's D went from really bad to decent over last season, and has regressed this year. I'm not sold on it. They win because of their offense (their OL, specifically) and when Aidan Hutchinson can disrupt a play or two.
There are a lot of coaches and coaching staffs that will get fired on Black Monday. More and possibly better candidates could emerge.
I went back on the thread posts and didn't know where exactly where to pick it up.
In any case....
I put my alleged mind to it and tried to remember any former NFL player that returned to his former team as a coach and was even respectable.
As noted earlier, for the Packers failed tenures are Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg.
After some rumination I can only come up with:
George Halas - yeah maybe a stretch but he did play for the Decaurter Staleys then bought them, moved to Chicago started the NFL and the freakin'n Bears became a power house.
Art Shell - Oakland Raiders - Never won an Owl, pretty damn successful.
Tom Flores - Oakland Raiders....IBID
Some of the um, more experienced posters here will probably come up with other examples (PB Max where art thou?) but letting fanboy shit get in the way makes no sense.
