JANUARY 10: DQ RESPONDS, HARBAUGH VISITS The Dallas Cowboys ended the regular season with a disappointing 26-6 loss en route to the Washington Commanders, but that hasn’t dampened interest in league circles in Dan Quinn as head coach.
But on Monday, Quinn himself “slowed things down” just a little.
“Everyone asks you, you’re flattered…” Quinn said of the Broncos’ interview request on The Star Monday. “So right where my feet are and enjoying, and then we’re going to have a kick-ass week.”
That’s the Cowboys’ pretty standard response to questions like this, but it’s also the truth about how he runs his business. Yes, Quinn is once again a candidate for the Denver job, a position he interviewed for a year ago before Denver finally settled on Nathaniel Hackett.
In the meantime, The Broncos conducted a visit with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh on Monday. And Sean Payton remains at the top of her wish list.
JAN 9: CLIFF FIRES Last March, Texas native Kliff Kingsbury signed a six-year extension as Cardinals head coach.
And now it’s over.
Kingsbury led the Cardinals to a 4-13 record, their worst record since Kingsbury arrived in Arizona, and now he’s been fired.

Smith finished his only season in charge 3-13-1.
Multiple league sources have named Gannon as a top contender for the Texans’ potential opener, having made a strong impression in two interviews last season before the Texans promoted Smith from defensive coordinator.
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero are other highly regarded candidates.
JANUARY 8: QUINN VS. THE DENVER FIELD Sean Payton’s people have whispered that he has no interest in the Denver Broncos. And Jim Harbaugh came straight out this week and said he plans to stay at the University of Michigan.
Both of them… um… fibbed. And what they actually do impacts the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff, particularly defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Read all about it here.
