An intriguing possibility has come up as we enter this year's NFL general manager/head coach hiring cycle — one that would strip the Vikings of a couple valuable employees. The idea is that Vikings senior vice president of player personnel Ryan Grigson and defensive coordinator Brian Flores could potentially be hired as a GM/HC package deal by one of the teams in need of a new regime.

Ryan Fitzpatrick played for Brian Flores the last time he was a head coach with the Miami Dolphins. His assessment of his former head coach getting a new opportunity beyond that of a defensive coordinator is something you have to hear.

Brian Flores is one of the many names being floated around as a head coach candidate for the coming year, but one of his former players offered a bit of a warning to other teams that might be interested.
