This morning, the Carolina Panthers got the coaching carousel rolling when they fired Head Coach Matt Rhule. Jeff Howe of The Athletic put out a list of potential candidates “after speaking to several executives around the NFL.” Steelers senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach Brian Flores was listed as a candidate on the short list.
“Flores has earned a reputation as a good defensive coach, and he was very highly respected with the Patriots. He did a good job in three seasons at the helm of the Dolphins, leading them to back-to-back winning seasons — a major step forward for a Miami organization that couldn’t get out of its own way for most of the previous two decades.
