The Bears’ exhaustive head coach search took a flip towards the NFC North on Saturday when the group carried out a digital interview with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
Flores attended Boston School with Bears common supervisor Ryan Poles and has Vikings connections with president/CEO Kevin Warren, who used to work in Minnesota.
Flores’ Vikings completed fifth within the NFL in scoring protection and tied for the league lead in turnovers. They have been tied for fourth within the league in sacks on the backs of Flores’ blitzing scheme. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams referred to as him the “King of the Cowl 0 blitz” earlier this season.
Flores comes with some purpose for pause, although. The Vikings misplaced their final two video games — the common season finale and the playoff loss to the Rams on Monday — by a mixed 40 factors. The most important concern, although, is how Flores dealt with his younger quarterback when he was the Dolphins’ head coach for 3 years. Tua Tagovailoa advised The Dan Le Batard Present in August that Flores was a “horrible individual” and unfold negativity.
“Should you wakened each morning and I advised you you suck, you don’t belong doing what you do, that you just shouldn’t be right here, that you just haven’t earned this… How would it not make you are feeling?” he mentioned.
Flores has filed a lawsuit in opposition to the NFL claiming discriminatory hiring practices, too.
The Bears have been anticipated to satisfy with Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich later Saturday.
