It's just a fact of the National Football League that highly-regarded coordinators are going to attract interest and attention regarding potential head coaching gigs, and Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is among them.

Quinn, who has already been linked to the likes of the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers, says that he'll be ready to talk with the appropriate parties at the appropriate times - but that is not right now with business this season still yet to be taken care of. 

"If and when that time gets called,'' Quinn said of his candidacy for a move, "I would certainly be ready to discuss that at a moment's notice.''

"I think it's important to know how to compartmentalize," Quinn said. "Fortunately for me in that space, any preparation you would do on that is done over the summertime. It's pretty easy these days to compartmentalize.''

And while he recently had the chance to depart, the fact that he felt there was unfinished business to take care of with the Cowboys bodes well. 

"Quite honestly, the guys that I'm able to coach are a big reason why I wanted to be back here,'' he said of the defensive unit he's helped assemble. "I didn't want to see anybody else coaching these guys, and there was unfinished business in my mind. ... I'm not gonna let that moment miss one second."

Do you anticipate Quinn staying with the Cowboys beyond this season, or are we getting our final glimpses of him in his role as the Dallas defensive coordinator?
