Brian Flores Becomes Vikings Defensive Coordinator
2 years agoPittsburgh Steelers assistant head coach/linebackers coach Brian Flores accepted the defensive coordinator position with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, according to a source. Flores has plenty of experience in the NFL coaching defense and was also the Miami Dolphins' head coach for three years from 2019-21. Before his stint in Miami, Flores spent 15 years working under New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Last offseason, Flores filed a lawsuit against the Dolphins, Denver Broncos and New York Giants for discriminatory hiring and firing practices. The Vikings defense hasn't ranked better than 24th in points allowed or 27th in yards allowed in any of the last three seasons, so he'll have his work cut out for him.
