The Jaguars have requested an interview with Brian Flores

Brian Flores could return to Florida.

The former Dolphins coach and current Vikings defensive coordinator is on Jacksonville’s radar screen. Jaguar has announced that they have I asked permission to interview Flores.

Flores had a huge impact on Minnesota’s defense, turning it around during his two years with the team.

The Bears and Jets also requested permission to interview Flores. He will be available for a virtual interview after the Vikings’ wild card game against the Rams, if Minnesota wins. If the Vikings lose, he will be available for interviews next week.

Flores has a racial discrimination and retaliation lawsuit pending against the NFL, Dolphins, Giants, Broncos and Texans. When the case was filed in February 2022, he certainly assumed it would end his chance at another head coaching job. Thanks to the Steelers, who hired him as an assistant in 2022, and the Vikings, who made him defensive coordinator in 2023, Flores is back in the mix to become a head coach.

The Bears and Jets also requested permission to interview Flores.

Last year, he didn’t get a single interview. Even if he doesn’t get a job this time, he is close to getting a second chance to coach the team.
