"Isolating a filter, so to speak, on the time in question though, this is only the second time they are doing it in one particular way. To be clear this is only the third defensive coordinator search that Dallas has been a part of as Dan Quinn is a part of the "four in four years" narrative, but within the three searches only two have happened with a sitting head coach."
"The most serious candidates who the Cowboys involved for the same level of search two years ago were Ron Rivera, Rex Ryan, and the eventual job winner in Mike Zimmer. Keep in mind that at the time two (Ryan and Zimmer) had not recently been coaching and the other was the man who created their need as Dan Quinn took his job in Washington."
The Dallas Cowboys are conducting their fourth defensive coordinator search in four years, marking the third search involving Dan Quinn and the second conducted with a sitting head coach. The first such search with a sitting head coach occurred before Mike McCarthy's final season when the team hired Mike Zimmer. The current search follows Brian Schottenheimer's initial season. During the McCarthy-era search, McCarthy’s lame-duck contract status affected perceptions of the 2024 team. Two years earlier, the most serious candidates were Ron Rivera, Rex Ryan, and Mike Zimmer; Rivera was active while Ryan and Zimmer had not recently coached.
