The Washington Commanders didn't manage to lure Brian Flores to be their next defensive coordinator. And the latest revelations about how desperate the Minnesota Vikings were to keep him around explain why.
Flores was in the head-coaching mix once again, interviewing with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers about their vacancies. He spoke to the Commanders about the defensive coordinator role, but when no top job was secured, he returned to Minnesota.
Kevin O'Connell was always confident that Flores would stay. The head coach revealed that the Vikings had put together a package they believed would be difficult to turn down.
