It was reported today by Adam Schefter of ESPN that the Minnesota Vikings intend to hire former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores for their open defensive coordinator position. Flores was with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a defensive assistant and linebackers coach last season after being dumped by Miami in favor of current head coach Mike McDaniel.
While Flores was a great defensive coach, his inability to fill out Miami’s coaching roster with competent hires — mainly on the offensive side of the ball — contributed to his dismissal from the Dolphins.
