Based on the season that the Minnesota Vikings defense had in 2023, you would expect defensive coordinator Brian Flores to have numerous head coaching interviews.
As of Thursday night, January 18th, Flores has exactly zero. You read that correctly, zero.
There are a few reasons you could equate this too but it is most likely the fact that Flores is suing the National Football League for it’s hiring practices.
Over the course of the last week, fans and analysts on Twitter took to the social media platform to express their frustration and confusion for why Flores doesn’t have any interviews during this cycle.
Meanwhile, Brian Flores' defense led the league in outperforming expectations, imo.
And yet….not hearing his name. https://t.co/8iQJALk3ov

It’s great for the Vikings if Brian Flores returns as defensive coordinator but the fact he isn’t getting any head coaching interviews shows just how much teams want to make sure everyone knows that if you challenge the league you will be ignored. I thought he’d get an interview
