The post from u/Ok-Requirement4497 had me curious, how did the 2019 doing? Did any pan out?

Flores is undeniably a great defensive play caller. The defenses were great in NE, though of course Belicheck gets a lot of that credit. But what he’s doing this year with a pretty untalented Vikings defensive is quite amazing.
Yeah, that’s why I’m leaving open the idea that he might work as a DC.
However I wouldn’t let him anywhere near the offense, particularly the QBs, again. He did Fitz wrong by benching him all of a sudden while Tua was still healing. Then he had no problem benching Tua when the young QB had normal QB growing pains. In Tua’s second year he thought 2 OCs and offensive playcalling by committee was fine.
Then he burnt the bridge as he left miami.
There’s defensive talent but I wouldn’t recommend him being a HC again, at least for awhile. Definitely not with a rookie QB either.
