Reports: Broncos seek to interview Dan Quinn


The Denver Broncos have requested permission from the Dallas Cowboys to interview Dan Quinn – again – for their head coaching vacancy, NFL Network and 9News reported Monday.

Quinn was a finalist for the vacancy last year before the team opted to hire Nathaniel Hackett, since fired after starting 4-11.

Senior assistant Jerry Rosburg finished out the season as interim head coach.

The Broncos won’t be able to talk to Quinn until after the Cowboys’ playoff game next Monday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

According to multiple reports Monday, official interview requests were placed by the Broncos for former Saints coach Sean Payton, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.

Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is also considered a candidate.

Quinn went 43-42 as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons from 2015-20, going 3-2 in the playoffs and taking the team to Super Bowl LI. He was fired after an 0-5 start to the 2020 season.
