Pittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant Brian Flores might well be the most respected man in the NFL’s coaching ranks right now who doesn’t currently occupy a head coaching job. He certainly has the respect of the man who brought him on board here, the team’s own head coach, Mike Tomlin.
Recently, Pittsburgh native and former Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall took his I Am Athlete crew to Latrobe and nabbed a short interview with Tomlin, who was at one point asked to name his top five head coaches in the league right now—but he had to name two who are not currently head coaches, including the man on his own staff.
