NEW: Sean Payton has put in a request to interview Brian Flores for the Broncos' defensive coordinator role. From ParkerJGabriel
Denver head coach Sean Payton is starting to put together his coaching staff, including interviews with potential defensive coordinator candidates.
The Broncos on Friday requested permission to speak with Pittsburgh linebackers coach Brian Flores about the role, a source confirmed Friday morning to The Post. NFL Network first reported the request. Flores was the Miami Dolphins head coach from 2019-21 and then spent 2022 on Mike Tomlin’s staff in Pittsburgh after being fired from the Dolphins job.
The interview with Denver is notable for several reasons, including the fact that a year ago, Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and all 32 teams claiming racial discrimination in hiring practices, butfor its head coaching job before the Broncos ultimately hired Vic Fangio. Denver denied the allegation and two key figures Flores mentioned in the suit, Joe Ellis and John Elway, are no longer in formal front office roles with the organization.
Payton will likely put in more requests to talk with both defensive and offensive coordinator candidates, a source said, but so far there is no official word on defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero’s status going forward.
