Brian Flores update teases what Vikings may be preparing to do

With his contract set to expire at the end of the current NFL season, a lot of people are wondering where Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores will be working in 2026.

Many expect Flores to interview for multiple head coach openings around the league in the upcoming offseason, and even if that doesn't happen, some have speculated that he might leave the Vikings to run another team's defense next year.

On Monday, Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell not only revealed that the team has had recent dialogue with Flores about continuing his tenure with the franchise, but he also expressed his appreciation for all that the Vikings' defensive coordinator has done during his three years with the organization.
