Brian Flores‘ first head-coaching opportunity came with the Dolphins and lasted three seasons. Since his dismissal in 2021, his oft-discussed NFL experience has resulted in several interviews but no HC gigs as of yet.

When Brian Flores arrived in Minnesota, the team’s defense was in shambles. They ranked 28th in points allowed and gave up the second most yards in the NFL. Two years later, the Vikings just wrapped up a 14-3 season that was driven in major part by a top-five defense in which they forced the most takeaways and allowed the second fewest rushing yards.

Brian Flores has emerged as a legitimate head-coaching option for at least one NFL team. The Jacksonville Jaguars announced over social media on Wednesday that they have requested a head coaching interview with the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Flores.
