Vikings got their man on defense, but how long can they keep him?

Brian Flores said he came to Minnesota to grow. Just don't expect the new Vikings defensive coordinator to put down roots.

In fact, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he knows the best-case scenario in this big-name hire features O'Connell back in front of the cameras introducing another defensive coordinator about this time next year.

That likely would mean the 41-year-old Flores, a Bill Belichick disciple and former Dolphins head coach, was a smashing, zero-blitz-crazed success in 2023 and will be heading elsewhere to restart a potentially promising head coaching career that was unfairly snuffed out by Miami owner Stephen Ross after back-to-back winning seasons in 2020-21.
