Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has withdrawn his name for consideration for head coaching vacancies.

Dan Quinn has informed teams that he’s staying with the #Cowboys, per sources.

Six teams requested head-coaching interviews with Quinn, who decided he wanted to return to Dallas and try to win a Super Bowl. He should be a hot name again next year.

Quinn had been considered for the head coaching jobs in Chicago, Denver and the Giants. The Bears and Broncos have filled their respective vacancies while the Giants are in the process of finalizing their search process for a new head coach.

The Giants met with Quinn in person on January 24 at their East Rutherford headquarters. The team is currently  holding second interviews for their head coaching opening, having met with Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. They are also scheduled to meet with Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier Friday for  second time.

The Giants are also scheduled to interview former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores Thursday, and met with defensive coordinator Patrick Graham Wednesday and Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo Sunday, that meeting via video conference.
