Flores joins the Vikings one year after suing the NFL and three teams -- the Dolphins, Denver Broncos and New York Giants -- alleging discrimination regarding his interview processes with Denver and New York and his firing by Miami.

What a coincidence that the season that began with a racial discrimination suit from a coach with plenty of damning evidence ends with a SB helmed by two Black quarterbacks. "How can we be a racist organization? We have two Black quarterbacks!"

You couldn't script the season ending any better for the league's image!

Absolutely love this hire for the Vikings. Doesn't fix everything but a nice step in the right direction.

Even if Flores only stays for a year or two until he gets his head coaching job, it will be good thing.
Rent-a-DC.  I'm fine with it.

Now, you CANNOT MISS in the draft. Kwesi has to draft O-Line, RB and Defense and the majority of it needs to be a hit. With like 5 picks total.

I still say blow it up. I said it before last year, I  will say it now. This team is *STILL* chasing 2017's success and it needs to stop. It won't happen with this kind of hire though.  If we go 10-7 and get to the playoffs we should consider ourselves blessed.

It's a start. Flores won't have a lot to work with, though. No cap space. In spite of all the draft choices spent on DBs, they had no personal to play a man coverage defense, and were using a prevent defense almost from the start of every game. They could stop 4th and 1, but were helpless against 3rd and 23.
The team has the same weaknesses as they have had for a decade, O-Line and Cornerbacks. Keenum spent a year running for his life, and they haven't made things any easier for Cousins. Bad things happen when he is under pressure. Opposing receivers look forward to having a career day when playing the Vikings.

Kwesi screwed up the 2022 draft by continuously trading down when Kyle Hamilton was there for the taking and instead drafting Cine. Hopefully Flores can help the team identify a decent defensive player to take since Cousins takes up too much cap space to get free agents.

Seems like a better writer could have written him a head coaching job.

He should have ended up with Giselle.
