Flores inked
Eagan, Minn. – The Minnesota Vikings announced today Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores has signed a contract extension.
In Flores' first three seasons leading Minnesota's defense (2023-25), the Vikings have limited their opponents to 19.2 points per game (second-fewest league wide) and 317.1 yards per game, including 5.1 yards per play (fourth). Opponents have averaged just 105.4 rushing yards per game (fifth) against the Vikings defense during Flores' tenure, including a league-low 3.9 yards per rush since 2023. Minnesota has totaled the second-most forced fumbles in the NFL with 52, and the fifth-most defensive takeaways with 73, including 61 fumble recoveries (fifth) and 43 interceptions. The Vikings have allowed just 147 plays of 20+ yards over the past three seasons, the fewest league wide since Flores took ownership of the defense.

Well, the only year he worked on offense, the offense was abysmal. On the other hand the defense was the only bright spot on the team (one of the best seasons since he joined the Vikings). I know this will not look good on BFlo especially with him being in the HC interview process but I am not sure what he says helps his case.
Between the lawsuit, the "dictator" comments from Ryan Fitzpatrick two weeks ago, and now this comment from Pettine, it would seem the likelihood of Flores getting a head coaching offer hovers somewhere between a frozen hell and flying pigs.

IT makes sense...It was -18 below when I went to bed last night and -7 below when I woke-up...Thats actual air temp, not feels like with a wind.
This is old-school weather, like back in the 60/70's
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

After a record-breaking warm December and January, we’re finally starting to get some colder weather here in Denver. No exploding trees yet, but it’s 11 degrees right now. And that’s DAMN cold for Colorado.
When I was in grade school in Montana it was so cold they cancelled outside recess for several days. I still remember the temperature when it was deemed “warm enough” to go outside. It was 11 degrees. lol

Yeah I have -20's at night here last night and tonight. Can't remember temps like that since the 70s when it was common. I remember 35 below on the morning of the Vikes last SB. Guess it was an omen lol.

-23 at my place this morning, actual air temp. we dont even bother to talk "real feel" bull shit out here, most people wont believe us that arent from here.

The local weather wretches here luv reporting on the feels like...It's much more dramatic

That's taking the high road? Lol but yeah Flores seems to be rather polarizing.
So....not sure what's going on, but....Pettine has a history of being a little bitch and not getting along with some coaches.

Lol! Never a dull moment in Viking land (rolls eye into back of head)
Its just drama everywhere today, really. If you follow other teams its the same dramatic crap. So many podcasts, web shows, etc. and coaches are human and some seem more ready to talk shit about people than ever before. Especially if they've been released or fired.

I don't care if it's-5, if it feels like -25, it's-25 to me.
Minus 5 is a real number, real feel or windchill is so subject to so many other factors besides wind speed that aren't calculated in its kind of a joke. Might as well just say its fucking cold.

The formula used is: Wind Chill (°F) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275T(V^0.16), where T is the air temperature in Fahrenheit and V is the wind speed in miles per hour.

Where's humidity, how cold feels is very dependent on moisture in the air, and other factors that aren't represented in that formula, real feel factors in more variables, but still ignores humidity. From someone that has spent a lot of my life working out in the cold, humidity makes a huge difference in how cold it feels. My father in law used to say "its never colder than the leading edge of a south wind." the moisture arrives before the warmth and makes it very unbearable at times, 20 above with high humidity feels way worse than -20, even with a little north wind, which is why I think wind chill and real feel are dumb.

That is the equation that's used to calculate the temperature. Was taught to use wet bulb and dry bulb readings to determine the Mollier value, but that was just for class 40 some years ago. Wind chill is an index for for exposed skin heat loss. I think you may have an opportunity to make your mark in science, quantify it and call it the SD Wingeing temp.

This is how I always understood it and how the weathermen down here describe it.

and wet skin transfers heat faster than dry skin, its why it feels warmer when it hot and humid, and colder when its cold and humid, not sure why humidity isnt calculated into any sort of attempt to equate conditions to actual feel to the exposed human body.

No doubt, its all about the humidity as a 'feels like' temp for humans.
