Commanders interviewing Brian Flores for defensive coordinator on Wednesday

Brian Flores is interviewing with the Washington Commanders for their defensive coordinator position. This follows the team's decision to part ways with Joe Whitt Jr. after the regular season. Flores, who served as the Miami Dolphins head coach for three seasons, has been with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach in 2022, and he joined the Minnesota Vikings as their defensive coordinator in 2023. His contract with the Vikings has expired, allowing him to consider other opportunities. Despite his current interviews, the Vikings are reportedly optimistic about retaining Flores if he does not secure a head coaching role.
