"The dream is over. Most Washington Commanders fans knew what head coach Dan Quinn was waiting for before appointing a new defensive coordinator. They concluded that he was biding his time for someone in the current head-coaching cycle. And there was one name above all else generating headlines. The Commanders caused a stir around the league by bringing in Brian Flores for an interview."
"Brian has a unique ability to connect with players, understand their skill sets, and put them in positions to maximize their impact on the field. The identity of our defense is a reflection of his leadership and preparation. On a personal level, I've really valued the relationship we've built over the last three years, and that shared trust, alignment and high standard will continue to be critical to our success."
The Washington Commanders interviewed Brian Flores while head coach Dan Quinn waited for a preferred candidate from the head-coaching cycle. Flores had ties to general manager Adam Peters and drew interest as a potential head coach for multiple teams. The Minnesota Vikings signed Flores to a contract extension, ensuring he will remain with the club unless he secures another head-coaching job. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell praised Flores's player connection, scheme fit, leadership and preparation. The decision represents a setback for the Commanders as Quinn wants to remain involved defensively amid limited high-quality alternatives.
