Patriots assistant Brian Flores will have his second interview with the Dolphins on Wednesday night, a league source tells Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald (on Twitter). The interview, in all likelihood, will be a discussion about the future rather than a true interview. Flores has already been tapped as the team’s next head coach, but the hire cannot be formally made until after the Super Bowl. 
[Poll: Which Team Made Best Head Coaching Hire?]
In 2018, the Patriots ranked 21st in yards allowed but seventh in scoring. The Pats have only had one non-top-10 scoring defense in the past 13 seasons and Flores has been a part of their past eight defensive coaching staffs. After moving on from the offensively-minded Adam Gase, the Dolphins believe that Flores will help restore order on the other side of the ball.
Speaking of defense, the Dolphins are reportedly set to hire longtime Flores friend Patrick Graham as their new DC.
I hope he’s successful. It’d be nice to a see a new defensive minded HC again winning.
It still bothers me that there is a double standard. You only get hired as a defensive coach if you have a solid background of success but if your an offensive “hot shot” you merely have to have the right connections.
Doesn’t bother me considering how the NFL is an offensive sport. Teams are willing to chance it with an offensive “hot shot” because that’s what it might take to start winning again. While a successful DC needs to really need show it in order to play it safe with a DC as HC.
The assumption that offense is more valuable than defense is a complete myth. The offense ranked #1 in scoring efficiency has won exactly one championship this century (Saints 2009). Conversely the defense ranked best in scoring efficiency has won 6 championships over that same period.

Flores put his house on the market. It’s a done deal.
