Reports: Fins have second interview with Pats' Flores

The Miami Dolphins have a second interview scheduled for Wednesday night with New England Patriots defensive play-caller Brian Flores, according to multiple reports. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Miami general manager Chris Grier plans to offer the 37-year-old Flores the head coaching position and discuss staffing issues.

The Dolphins can't hire Flores officially until after the Patriots play the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Feb. 3. Flores first met with the Dolphins on Jan. 4. He was one of the first candidates to interview for the vacancy after the team fired Adam Gase following a 7-9 season.

Flores joined the Patriots in 2004 as a scouting assistant and has been with the franchise since. The 2018 season was his third as New England's linebackers coach and his first as the defensive play-caller. He assumed those duties after defensive coordinator Matt Patricia left to be the head coach in Detroit last offseason. --Field Level Media
