Mike Vrabel was presumably hoping that the Dallas Cowboys’ loss could be his achieve.
But it surely wasn’t meant to be after the Cowboys reportedly expressed little interest in having Vrabel interview for his or her defensive coordinator place vacated by Dan Quinn, who took the head-coaching job with the Washington Commanders, in keeping with Will Steele of A to Z Sports.
Quinn had been Dallas’ defensive coordinator since 2021. The staff completed fifth, fifth and seventh, respectively, in scoring protection, and fifth, twelfth and nineteenth, respectively, in whole protection in his three seasons.
“I am being advised that Vrabel and (former New York Giants defensive coordinator) Wink Martindale each needed an opportunity to speak however they don’t seem to be getting it,” Steele reported.
Vrabel was fired after a six-year run as head coach of the Tennessee Titans, the place he compiled a 54-45 file with three playoff appearances, two AFC South titles and an AFC Championship Recreation look. Previous to Tennessee, Vrabel spent the 2017 season because the defensive coordinator of the Houston Texans.
Per Steele, the Cowboys DC job seems to be a two-horse race with head coach Mike McCarthy favoring former Commanders head coach Ron Rivera, whereas possession seems to be leaning towards former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer.
