We have been wondering who the defensive coaches on Kyle Shanahan’s staff would be, and we are starting to get some potential names. Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that former Jacksonville Jaguars linebackers coach Robert Saleh is on Shanahan’s radar for defensive coordinator. Sunday afternoon, FOX Sports NFL reporter Jay Glazer reported that Shanahan is also interested in New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores.
Flores joined the Patriots as a scouting assistant in 2004 after playing for safety and linebacker for four years at Boston College. After four seasons in the scouting department, he moved into coaching with the team.
