That’s according to Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson, who spoke to two sources who said the Patriots are “preparing to go into a season without a defensive coordinator.” Instead of getting the official defensive coordinator title, Flores is expected to assume “primary defensive play-calling duties.”
It’s not an unprecedented move for Bill Belichick, as he ran the team for two years without an official defensive coordinator between Dean Pees’ departure following the 2009 season and Matt Patricia’s promotion for the 2012 season.
It does mean that he’s still in charge of the linebackers, while Patricia wasn’t specifically assigned to any position after being named DC.Does not having the title really mean anything? Are his responbilities the same?
This isn’t anything new and was actually predicted by quite a few posters here as to how this situation would play out. Everything will work out fine. Flores gets more responsibility and a pay bump, Bill gets to be a bit more hands on, evaluate and coach his coach a little longer before handing the reigns over, and Flores will be under a lot less scrutiny and obligation to the media. This is the opposite of throwing someone into the fire, basically.

So now we know Krafty Bob blew it again. Why didn’t he hire Mike Zimmer as his DC?How do you know that?
because that is how it worked before Patricia got the official title. He made that same as he did as an assistant until he proved he could handle the job. He was paid as a coordinator once he was given the title.How do you know that?

Flores is a very good coach and is highly respected by the players. He will work out just fine
Flores better be a quick learner
