Could Pittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant Brian Flores wind up as the new defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings? What about the new head coach of the Arizona Cardinals or the new defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos? We might find out the answer to that question fairly soon thanks to some other coaching news that surfaced on Sunday.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Carolina Panthers are hiring Ejiro Evero to be their defensive coordinator. Prior to that news, Evero was a serious candidate to become the Vikings’ new defensive coordinator. Flores was also deemed a serious candidate for that open Minnesota job as well as he had already interviewed for the position.
