Flores was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2019-2021. He went 24-25 over the three seasons and was fired after 2021 despite having consecutive winning seasons.
Flores made headlines when he sued the Dolphins for alleged racial discrimination. His lawsuit led the league to make widespread changes to the hiring processes for teams to create more opportunities for minority candidates.
The 41-year-old spent this season on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ staff as a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach.
The Cardinals are looking for a new head coach after firing Kliff Kingsbury following a disappointing 4-13 season.
