The Cardinals have reached out to the Steelers for permission to interview defensive assistant Brian Flores for their head coaching job, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
Arizona entered the coaching market after firing Kliff Kingsbury earlier this week. He compiled a 28-37-1 record in four NFL seasons, going a career-worst 4–13 in 2022.
Flores would bring experience to an Arizona club struggling to progress after committing to Kyler Murray as its franchise quarterback. He previously served as head coach of the Dolphins from 2019 to ’21, going 24–25. After overachieving in ’19 with a 5–11 record, the Dolphins posted back-to-back winning seasons in ’20 and ’21, but Flores was fired by the team, in a surprising and controversial move by the franchise.
