The Minnesota Vikings defense played at a level that not many units even dream of, let along actually put on film. The 2024 Vikings defense is one of the best in franchise history so it made sense to think about the idea that defensive coordinator Brian Flores may not return to the team as he could become a head coach again.
Several weeks into the NFL’s 2025 coaching course indicates that the Vikings may benefit from his services for at least one more year.
Flores was asked to interview with both the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jets are seemingly closing in on Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn while the Jaguars are moving into second interviews, and his name is not on the shortlist.
While it is disappointing to know he won’t earn a second chance in the NFL, Flores’ return to the Vikings is priceless. The defense returns several big pieces, and the secondary is expected to be revamped as well.
