Dunleavy: Quinn wanted NYG job

There's a thought making its way around NFL circles that the job Dan Quinn really wanted was #Giants. He pulled out to stay as #Cowboys DC because he saw writing on the wall that it is a 2-man race between Brian Flores and Brian Daboll.

Interesting.
If true, sounds like the NYG position was in demand  
UberAlias : 1/27/2022 11:59 am : link
probably a good thing.
Well sourced position...

'thoughts around NFL circles'. We all know what happens in these circles...
Why was it pre-determined that they had to hire  
Mike from Ohio : 1/27/2022 12:07 pm : link
a guy named Brian? Lots of good candidates bypassed because of this. /s

Very interesting

But blessing in disguise. I think the Brians offer more and I don’t think we needed to be reminded of 28-3.
I'd wager Ryan's correct  
JonC : 1/27/2022 12:14 pm : link
He would fit the adult in the room criteria, and his exit now defaults that spot to Frazier, behind Daboll and Flores.
Quinn is from Morristown  
Skully88 : 1/27/2022 12:15 pm : link
And grew up a Giants fan, why wouldn’t he want the job?
Dan Quinn Should Have Changed His Name  
Trainmaster : 1/27/2022 12:22 pm : link
to Brian Quinn; problem solved.

Bears went from GM Ryan Pace to GM Ryan Poles
Bears went from HC Matt Nagy to HC Matt Eberflus.

:-)

Non-Ryans and non-Matts need not apply for the Bears.

Non-Brians need not apply for the Giants.
I thought he was a good fit personally  
Jim in Forest Hills : 1/27/2022 12:23 pm : link
but who really knows. Lets see who gets the seat.
Well if I was the new GM, he might have gotten it.  
Spider56 : 1/27/2022 12:23 pm : link
But I like Flores too.
You have

To wonder whether Schoen would be concerned about an experienced guy like Quinn challenging his thinking/undermining his authority relative to Daboll where they have a relationship and would be relatively seamless.

Short answer is yes. This is the thought from jerking circles.

The fact that Dan Quinn leaked he's returning to Dallas right after the Broncos reportedly hire Packers OC Nathanial Hackett as their new head coach and the Bears reportedly hire Colts DC Matt Eberflus as their new head coach is a pretty clear indication of what jobs he wanted.

Highly unlikely. Quinn is known to be very good guy to work with and collaborative.
Ralph is right.  
Andy in Halifax : 1/27/2022 1:15 pm : link
Based on his logic I am surprised Dunleavy can get himself dressed in the morning. Quinn obviously wanted Denver (likely) or Chicago imo

yep...
So..Flores to the Raiders..Daboll to Miami and we get Frazier?  
The_Boss : 1/27/2022 2:12 pm : link
HA!
This is awful if that's the case  
Doubledeuce22 : 1/27/2022 2:36 pm : link
Quinn is by far the most qualified for this position of all of the candidates.

If the Giants hired Frazier that would easily be in my top 5 "most annoyed" Giants decisions in the last decade
A potential problem from yesterday...  
bw in dc : 1/27/2022 5:58 pm : link
is that Mara's passionate advocacy for Jones, and Schoen's pretty warm support Jones, is that it may be a turnoff for both Flores and Daboll.

Neither may want to hitch their wagon at all to Jones.

And there is plenty of evidence to support that view.

I don't know what "league circles" he's referring to but that's not true at all.

The only talk (and it's just talk) going around is that he is being very selective because he knows it's likely his last chance and that he didn't agree with the direction the Mara's wanted to go at QB.

As I said, that's just talk.. right now. The truth on that sort of thing usually doesn't come out until much later. Quinn is a very respectable guy. He's not the type to bad-mouth anyone.

It's a QB league. If you don't have a good to great one, you are likely spinning your wheels in the mud and fighting, at best, for a .500 record and one-and-done wild card appearance.

I said it earlier, this quasi-gauntlet that Mara has thrown down with Jones could very likely backfire.

Good for Quinn if he said thanks but no thanks because of Mara wanting to run DJ back again. Maybe he'll get the hint

This must be info from a different NFL circle?
