Steelers lose Flores as he accepts Vikings' defensive coordinator job

The most likely scenario that was expected to play out regarding Brian Flores has come to fruition.

Flores is accepting the offer from the Vikings to become their new defensive coordinator, according to multiple national reports.

Flores was always going to be a hot commodity on the coaching market this offseason. Before accepting the job as senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach for the Steelers last offseason, Flores spent three seasons as the head coach of the Dolphins, leading them to 10-6 and 9-8 records in the final two years, respectively, before Miami made the controversial decision to fire him.
