Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who led Minnesota to the No. 3 defense in 2025, is set to return in 2026 after signing a new contract, following the Ravens and Steelers hiring other candidates. Despite interest from both teams, he remains without interviews for remaining coaching vacancies at the Raiders, Bills, Cardinals, and Browns. Concerns about his past with the Dolphins and comments from former assistant Mike Pettine may linger, but head coach Kevin O’Connell supports him. If the Vikings can improve their offense, they are likely to continue their playoff streak.
