Whenever a team like the Minnesota Vikings has a season where they go 14-3, you can expect some of their coaches to be interviewed for head coaching vacancies. Less than 24 hours after their final game of the regular season, two Vikings assistants have already been contacted.
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that both defensive coordinator Brian Flores and quarterbacks coach Josh McCown have been requested to interview for the Jets head coaching vacancy.
Brian Flores led a Vikings defense that saw them become one of the best defenses in the NFL. Their high-pressure rate and turnover rate went up in 2024 and were a major part of their success.
Josh McCown helped coach both rookie J.J. McCarthy during the preseason and veteran Sam Darnold all year long. McCarthy looked good in his lone preseason appearance, while Sam Darnold emerged as an MVP candidate.
No timetable has been set for their interviews as the Vikings visit the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs.
