Brian Flores to Join Steelers’ Coaching Staff, Ending Speculation of Patriots Return

Those continuing to hold out hope for Brian Flores rejoining the New England Patriots’ defensive coaching staff in 2022 had those yearnings extinguished on Saturday. Despite his ongoing court battle with the NFL, Flores has found another coaching job in the league…outside of Foxboro.

The former Miami Dolphins head coach has been hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a defensive assistant and linebackers coach, the team announced Saturday.

“I am excited about Brian Flores joining our coaching staff given his history of developing and teaching defensive players during his time in the NFL,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement.
