The Pittsburgh Steelers lost out on a potential top head coach candidate, as Brian Flores will remain the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator for the foreseeable future.
Flores, whose three-year deal with Minnesota was through the end of the 2025 regular season, signed a contract extension with the Vikings on Wednesday, effectively ending any hope of him becoming the Steelers’ next head coach.
One of the brightest defensive minds in the league, Flores drew a lot of interest during the 2026 coaching carousel — but the Vikings frequently reiterated their interest in keeping him.
While a reunion with Flores is no longer possible, the Steelers still have several top head coach candidates to consider — such as Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
