The Dallas Cowboys have turned the page regarding Dan Quinn and there are no favors being made to the friend-turned-enemy head coach of the Washington Commanders.
The team has now denied Quinn of two coaching interviews with Cowboys staff members: Tight ends coach Lunda Wells and defensive backs coach Al Harris.
On Wednesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Quinn wished to interview Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells but was blocked by Dallas. The decision makes sense as Wells is truly one of the best position coaches on the team and has been greatly responsible for Jake Ferguson’s development from a fourth rounder to a future star.
Before him, he coached Dalton Schultz and saw him get a 808-yard receiving season in 2021, his career-high to this date.
Wells is beloved in the locker room and it’s not hard to figure out why. Consider the story Ferguson revealed after tough drops in Week 1. He was inn a dark place before Wells rang him up:
“That’s a lot of credit to (Coach Wells), believing in us as a unit and me personally dropping those two balls last week,” Ferguson said back in September. “I’m not going to lie, I did get in my head for probably the night after that game. For him calling me and talking to me, getting me out of that hole and getting me ready for the week to come was really good to hear.”
