One potential job opening for Brian Flores is off the board. The Atlanta Falcons have hired Ryan Nielsen to be their new defensive coordinator. The team made the announcement moments ago.
Brian Flores was reportedly in the running for the job. But as he waits to see what the Arizona Cardinals do with their head coach vacancy, the Falcons are moving on and filling their open spot on the coaching staff.
Flores’ opportunities are down to two. The Cardinals’ head coaching gig and the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator position. Flores has already interviewed for both with the Vikings interview the most recent one, taking place Thursday.
