Correction: Buffalo Bills Hire Brian Flores as Defensive Coordinator
In a significant move, Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula has recruited former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores to join the Bills’ coaching staff as the defensive coordinator. This decision comes after Flores was dismissed by the Dolphins in January 2022, following three seasons with the team.
After his exit from Miami, Flores took legal action against the NFL and several teams, alleging discriminatory hiring practices.
During the 2022 season, he served as a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2023, he was appointed as the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bills’ decision to bring Flores on board is seen as a strategic effort to strengthen their defensive unit, aiming for a deeper postseason run in the upcoming season.
