"at least one rival team in need of a new DC could target him as well. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk , there is "increasing chatter" that the Cowboys will be squarely in the mix for Flores' services. Dallas appears likely to fire incumbent defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus at season's end, as his unit has effectively counteracted the elite performance of the team's offense and has kept the Cowboys out of the playoffs."
"The Vikings are something of a mirror image of the Cowboys. Flores' defense ranks in the top-10 in both yards and points, whereas the club's lackluster offense has been the primary culprit in its exclusion from the playoff field. But while Florio leaves open the possibility that Jones could open his checkbook and make Flores an offer he cannot refuse, the strong defense that Flores has established in Minnesota is a far cry from the overhaul the Dallas unit appears to require."
Brian Flores is the Vikings defensive coordinator on an expiring contract and Minnesota wants to re-sign him. Teams with head coach openings are expected to pursue Flores, and rival teams in need of a defensive coordinator could target him. The Cowboys are reportedly in the mix for Flores, and Dallas appears likely to fire Matt Eberflus after defensive struggles. Micah Parsons' trade and inconsistent use of additions undermined Eberflus. Flores' Minnesota defense ranks top-10 in yards and points, while the offense has kept the team out of the playoffs. Flores might only leave for a head coaching job, but interpersonal concerns could change that.
