Trending News: He is back,Brain return to vikings…
Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores said Tuesday that he did not receive any chances to interview for a head coaching opening during this offseason’s hiring cycle.
Flores, the former Dolphins head coach who had a 24-25 record in three seasons, quickly turned around the Vikings defense in his first season despite a roster overhaul that saw the exits of multiple key defenders including linebacker Eric Kendricks, cornerback Patrick Peterson, edge rusher Za’Darius Smith and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson.
The Vikings defense succumbed to injuries by December and fell apart at the end of a 7-10 season, finishing 13th in points and 16th in yardage allowed.
Seven NFL teams hired new head coaches, many other candidates were interviewed, but none have an open lawsuit against the NFL like Flores, who is Black and Latino. He sued the league and three teams in 2022 alleging racially discriminatory hiring practices.
