Already having cast the widest net in the HC search process, the Cardinals are continuing their second-interview circuit.
Add Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores to the list of those who will secure additional summits with the Cards. Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports (on Twitter) the longtime Patriots assistant will meet with Arizona brass once again.
Flores will join Panthers DC Steve Wilks and Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo in being a two-time interviewee with the Cardinals this offseason. The Cardinals are still considering incumbent DC James Bettcher but won’t interview him a second time due to familiarity, and Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak declined a second meeting with the team.
The youngest of Arizona’s HC candidates, the 36-year-old Flores only landed in this coaching search. Other teams with 2018 vacancies focused on New England’s coordinators. Flores has been a head position coach in New England since 2012.
So they’re going to wait another 2 weeks just to reinterview Flores?
Is Bruce Arians gonna interview for the job?
Bruce Arians has retired. He is done coaching. He is considering TV commentating, but he is not considering coaching. Got it?
I hope they hire an offensive minded coach. The defense is just fine !
