According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings are hiring former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores as their D-Coordinator:

Flores, who spent this past season as an assistant coach on Mike Tomlin’s coaching staff in Pittsburgh will look to help improve the Vikings’ 31st ranked defense.

The former Miami Dolphins head coach also has an active lawsuit against the NFL over discrimination in the hiring process for head coaches.
