This is a very solid case for removing this owner from the franchise. bellichick did Flores a solid by low key giving him ammo and evidence
Prolly makes a lot more sense that the Asst GM of the Bills would bring their OC with him to the Giants as HC, no?
Or should he hire a guy he doesn't know (Flores) who was a Linebackers Coach from 2016-2018 and a Safeties Coach from 2012-2015 on a team (NE Pats) that had the GOAT of all DCs as their HC? And Flores went 24-25 in 3 seasons leading the Dolphins to.....what...or who knows what.
Just give a read to this nbc sports online article, and imagine you were the Dolphins owner. Is this the guy you want leading your players? Could he even lead his players?
No surprise Flores is now throwing shit on the wall to see if anything will stick...
NBCsports article:
The Miami Dolphins firing Brian Flores reportedly was less about his coaching and more about his strained relationships with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and general manager Chris Grier.T
Flores' relationship with Tagovailoa apparently deteriorated to the point where he told his QB he'd rather have someone else under center. Not just anyone else, though.
Former New England Patriots executive Michael Lombardi claims Flores told Tagovailoa that he wishes he drafted Mac Jones.
"If you're really honest (interviewing for the Dolphins HC job), are you going to sit there and say, 'I can build a team around Tua'? Because that's what (Dolphins owner Stephen) Ross wants to hear. That's what Brian Flores wouldn't say," Lombardi said on the latest GM Shuffle podcast.
"We've seen all the conversations that Flores basically had with Tua, where Flores told Tua at halftime of the Tennessee game -- this has all been reported -- I don't think Flores was shy about telling him, 'Hey, I should've picked Mac Jones.' I don't think he was shy about telling him that. In fact, I know that he wasn't. I remember I said there was commentary between the head coach and Tua during the season and I wouldn't reveal what the conversation was. Well, the conversation was, 'Hey, if I'd have knew you were going to be this bad, I would've picked Mac Jones.' "
