Vikings DC Brian Flores says he 'would love' to be NFL HC again

EAGAN, Minn. -- Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores left no doubt Tuesday. As the NFL's head coaching carousel ramps up this winter, he wants to be a part of it.

"Look," Flores said on "The Adam Schefter Podcast." "There's only 32 of these jobs, so I would certainly want to be a head coach in this league again."

The Vikings' defense ranks No. 1 in the NFL based on DVOA, making Flores one of the NFL's top-performing assistant coaches this season. But before speaking to Schefter, Flores had left questions about his future largely unaddressed since his controversial ouster as the Miami Dolphins' coach after the 2021 season.
