The Seattle Seahawks are in need of a head coach for the first time in over a decade.
It comes after they moved Pete Carroll to an advisor role on Wednesday. He had been the head coach for the past 14 seasons before they made this move.
With them in need of a new voice, one coach that the NFL community continues to suggest is Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

“Dan Quinn expected to be among the leading candidates to return to the #Seahawks, this time as head coach,” NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo tweeted.

The talk about Pete Carroll being out as Coach in Seattle had really perked up lately as has him being moved into the front office. The name I heard connected over and over to replace Carroll – Cowboys DC Dan Quinn, former Seahawks DC

“I can definitely see Dan Quinn interested in this, and he no doubt deserves another opportunity,” another tweet read.

Pete Carroll leaving as the league’s oldest coach just days after stating his intention to remain as the #Seahawks head coach.
Dan Quinn is former Seattle DC and part of Carroll’s Super Bowl staffs. Mike McCarthy has GB connection with Seattle GM John Schneider. https://t.co/iCGy9QPNOr

I’m still not over the fact that Pete Carroll isn’t the coach of the Seahawks. But that’s life.
I think 4 options should be the only options.
Eric Bieniemy … Ben Johnson
Dan Quinn … Mike Vrabel
That’s it.

I’ve been feeling this for a while.
Feels like Dan Quinn was always the successor for Pete Carroll.
Seahawks definitely will be the favorite to land Dan Quinn. & Seattle probably is his top choice too. https://t.co/iUySsMUELa pic.twitter.com/or0jntfD8X

Quinn coached the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons (2015-2020) before he was let go during the 2020 season. He led the team to a berth in Super Bowl LI and finished his tenure with a 43-42 record.
