Cowboys news: Following the Dan Quinn era, Dallas doesn’t expect a defensive reset

The work that Dan Quinn did for Dallas is not being thrown out the window.

Internal candidates will interview Monday before external ones interview Tuesday, three people familiar with the schedule told The Dallas Morning News. While the full candidate list was not disclosed, the latter pool is expected to include former Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer and ex-Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera.

The person hired will have substantial work to fine-tune the unit, but a complete overhaul is not anticipated.

In its final appearance last season, the Dallas defense struggled in several facets during a first-round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.
