PITTSBURGH - Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has a new home. The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the hire of Flores as a defensive assistant and linebackers coach on Saturday.
"I am excited about Brian Flores joining our coaching staff given his history of developing and teaching defensive players during his time in the NFL," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a release. "Brian's resume speaks for itself, and I look forward to him adding his expertise to help our team."
Flores' hire significantly boosts a defensive unit that recently promoted Teryl Austin to defensive coordinator following the retirement of Keith Butler, who also coached the team's outside linebackers.
