...took an NFL team to a Super Bowl, coached in two Super Bowls as a coordinator, coordinated an elite unit for an SEC team that went to a NY6 bowl game and is currently a coordinator for a top NFL team, is being discussed as a likely NFL head coach next year and is in his early 50's...
Would you be interested in him?

Dan Quinn would be intriguing but need to understand the flameout in ATL

No because I don't want to be looking for another coach in 2-3 years when this guy gets a NFL HC offer and takes it.

Dan Quinn will not be the coach.

I want a coach with a name. It’s a red flag to me if they don’t have a name. IRS would be on our arse quick.

That would be a terrible hire.

The two most consequential hires in the last 25 years in college football were NFL coaches who hadn't been all that successful in the league - Pete Carroll at USC and Nick Saban at Alabama.
Both were known as great football men who just hadn't perfected their leadership style for the NFL. In college they were able to perfect a system. The X's and O's were already there.
I also like a coach who's made some mistakes and learned from them. Allen is an elite defensive coordinator, and so is Quinn. Both are better coaches now, it seems, than when they were head coaches. If you look at Quinn's defense in Dallas it is a total philosophical reboot from what he was doing in Atlanta.
The idea that you'd jump on Mel Tucker, whose accomplishments are far less than either of these guys with the exception of a 7-game win streak against weak competition at Michigan State, or Lane Kiffin, who is established as a love-'em-and-leave-'em flash in the pan, rather than identify the next potential Saban who's been part of great organizations and learned from great coaches at the highest level, seems like very shallow thinking. It isn't how a top-flight AD would work.
Who are the coaches NFL teams want to hire? If you want to put LSU in a position to dominate college football once Saban finally goes away you need to start there. Dan Quinn's name is one of the absolute first ones you hear in that discussion.
