Life

In 2016 he moved to the same position with the linebackers. In 2018, Flores took over the announcement of the moves for the defensive and was thus de facto defensive coordinator , without officially carrying this title.

In February 2019, Flores was introduced as the new Head Coach of the Miami Dolphins .
