"The Washington Commanders are taking their time before appointing their new defensive coordinator. But with several more vacancies opening around the NFL since Dan Quinn fired Joe Whitt Jr., the head coach would be wise to act swiftly to secure his preferred target. However, the Commanders' dream of luring Brian Flores to Washington seems to be fading rapidly amid growing buzz elsewhere."
"Nobody thought the Commanders would even get an interview with Flores, but they did. He was willing to hear Quinn out. He also knows general manager Adam Peters from their time together on the New England Patriots. Nothing was sealed on the spot, which isn't surprising given he was being considered for head-coaching vacancies."
"Brian Flores is believed to be a serious contender for the Steelers' head coaching job. He previously worked for the Steelers as their linebackers coach under Mike Tomlin before his successful defensive coordinator stint with the Vikings."
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has delayed naming a defensive coordinator after firing Joe Whitt Jr., while other NFL vacancies are increasing urgency to act. The Commanders interviewed Brian Flores, who knows general manager Adam Peters from New England and agreed to meet Quinn, but no agreement followed as Flores was being considered for head-coaching roles. Brian Flores is now strongly linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers and has an in-person meeting scheduled, boosting his odds for their vacancy. Flores previously coached under Mike Tomlin and served as Vikings defensive coordinator. The Vikings hope to retain him, leaving Washington at a disadvantage.
