Commanders make painfully obvious pivot after Brian Flores pursuit collapses

Even though the Washington Commanders brought in Brian Flores for an interview, fans remained skeptical that he would become the team's new defensive coordinator. They were right.

Flores is still waiting for news on his interviews with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens for their head-coaching vacancies. If he doesn't do enough to secure a promotion, he will go back to the Minnesota Vikings after signing a contract extension with the NFC North club.

It was always an inevitable outcome, but it was disappointing nonetheless. The Commanders need to pivot swiftly, and Quinn managed to do just that with a move that some sections of the fan base have been clamoring for.
