Field Level Media's Aaron Wilson reported Thursday that Flores
was Houston's top target for the vacancy. Flores and Texans
general manager Nick Caserio have a shared history from their
time with the New England Patriots.
Flores, 40, was fired after three seasons in Miami in which the
Dolphins managed two winning seasons but failed to make the
playoffs. Flores amassed a 24-25 record in that span.
Flores also interviewed Friday for the Chicago Bears' open
head-coaching job.
Culley, 66, guided the Texans to a 4-13 record in his lone
season on the job. He did so without having access to
quarterback Deshaun Watson, who demanded a trade before sitting
out the season in the wake of 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual
assault and misconduct.
Flores is the first known candidate to interview in Houston. The
news came on the same day that Caserio told reporters that
firing Culley was "one of the hardest decisions I've made in my
life."
Houston also fired offensive coordinator Tim Kelly on Thursday.
