Think a Brian Flores departure is a foregone conclusion? Think again.
According to Kevin O’Connell, the plan is for the DC to stick around. In fact, O’Connell was fairly effusive in his praise for Flores while foreshadowing where the defense could go under his tutelage: “First and foremost with Flo, could not be more [happy] with the decision that I made last year to bring him in.”
The head coach then praises the DC for the “mentality” he helped instill within “that defensive room” and then the uniqueness of what he created.
