Poll -- who do you want as defensive coordinator?

[Guest]

I'm pretty sure they are waiting on the fate of Flores with regard to the Arizona job. They are looking for someone who fits in with their concept of what they want to be doing on defense; and the delay suggests they feel Flores is the one.

This seems like a two pony race currently between Evero and Flores. I guess my issue is, what has Brian Flores ever done that makes him such a great candidate? I don't want anybody ever from the Patriots coaching staff not named Belichick and they didnt want him back in New England. That coaching tree have all been epic busts and I'd be leary of the lawsuit and my franchise becoming mixed in with all that. Evero has been a coordinator for one year, and I'm not sure why he'd make a lateral move to Minnesota, especially in light of Sean Payton not getting Fangio. I'd think Evero would be someone he'd want to keep if he doesn't land a head coaching gig.

Dolphins defensive ranks under Flores:
Yards per play
2019 6.0 (T-27th)
2020 5.9 (T-8th)
2021 5.3 (T-19th)
Turnovers
2019 16 (T-28th)
2020 29 (1st)
2021 26 (T-8th)

Points allowed
2019 494 (32nd)
2020 338 (6th)
2021 373 (16th)

I just don't see the big deal with Flores and why everybody is clamoring for him outside of just name recognition. That and he's never, as in NEVER been a defensive coordinator at any level. He's in the same lot of Belichick cling on's receiving undue credit for what Belichick was doing in New England.

The team is waiting on both Evero and Flores, that much is obvious. It'll be one of them unless they both decline.

I'm not so sure. They also want to interview Evero. I have nothing to base this on other than a hunch, but I think Evero might be the guy they really want (pending a good interview), with Flores a close 2nd. 

I'm fine with either. But I think there's a pretty good chance both are hired out from under us.

You're right. Anyway we should know something in the next week or so.

That's been my point, why would he want to leave Denver for a lateral job with the Vikings?

The connections from the past might be a very good reason. Evero spent time with Kwesi in San
Francisco and 2 years with OConnell with the Rams. 
Plus, Evero might hate the thought of looking at Payton's stupid pursed lipped mouth each day in Denver like I would.

Yes but he'd be leaving a top 10 unit and a roster he is already familiar with for what, the Vikings heaping pile of shit on defense? I think if he doesn't get a head coaching job, and Payton want's him, then Payton is going to get him.

Who would want to look at this every day?
