The Minnesota Vikings faced the possibility of losing defensive coordinator Brian Flores, especially after he interviewed for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coaching position. Despite that uncertainty, the Vikings have announced they will retain Flores as their defensive coordinator through an extension finalized Wednesday night.
However, there’s a catch. ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler shared some insights on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), explaining that Flores remains in contention for head coaching roles even after signing the new deal with Minnesota.
“Brian Flores is still in the mix on head coaching jobs despite his new deal with Minnesota, I’m told,” Fowler revealed. “He just interviewed in-person with the Steelers earlier this week.”
This development suggests that the Vikings and head coach Kevin O’Connell may need to consider a contingency plan at defensive coordinator should Flores change his mind or accept another opportunity.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
