I was kind of hoping they could throw some money at him and give him an Assistant Head Coach title and keep him interested. He still has some red flags as a HC so we'll see.

as the say... winning cures all, if he can keep this D playing at a high level, somebody will lure him away, but since I've posted the same sentiment many times, I have to agree with you that they at least need to make it not about the money for him.

If he does leave, Vikings should try to find a way to keep his defense. Maybe promote an assistant.

Or what about trying to get Saleh to bring his talents to Minny?

He said it would have to be the right opportunity. The story also mentions how much he and his family love Minnesota. He's 'having the time of his life'....it has value.

I still think the elephant in the room is the outstanding litigation...

Wilfs are different from other owners and could look past that for a DC.

HC is a different deal all together.

I don't foresee any owner trusting him or hiring him as a HC any time in the near future. He has open lawsuits. Owners don't like that and whether you like it or not, they run the NFL. I don't believe he will ever get a chance again.

I trend toward this. But there are some maverick owners like Davis in Las Vegas that might not care. But I don't think Flores would want to go there. He may even get some interviews from a minority interview standpoint but I don't see him being hired as a HC this offseason.

Saleh is great. I'm just not a fan of having to onboard a new defense. I think we have certain players (Metellus, Cashman) who are probably JAGs (just a guy) in another defense.

I understand the 'old boys club' and open lawsuit issues. But I think he will be a head coach next year.
He's an innovator and those don't come along that often.
But it might be in a college program.
