(AP Photo/Brynn Anderson)FRISCO, Texas โ The Dallas Cowboys agreed to terms Monday with former Atlanta coach Dan Quinn as defensive coordinator, turning over a unit that was among the worst in franchise history to someone who built his reputation on defense in Seattle.

Quinn was the defensive line coach in Seattle for two years before going to Florida.
