When reports surfaced that the Washington Commanders were looking to speak with Brian Flores about their vacant defensive coordinator position, fans were dreaming big. However, the consensus across the league and the media was that this was nothing more than an ambitious pipedream.
Flores was gaining head-coaching interest, interviewing with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday. The Minnesota Vikings are confident they can get him back, with head coach Kevin O'Connell stating that the franchise has been aggressive in putting together a package to keep him around.
Fans weren't holding their breath.
