Dolphins fire Brian Flores

[Dont Stop Billeiving]

Bold move to fire Flores but keep Chris Grier who has not drafted well (Austin Jackson, Noah Igbinoghene, Tua over Herbert, etc.) and handed out some big FA deals that haven't panned out (Shaq Lawson, Kyle Van Noy, Byron Jones to an extent). 

[Real McClappy]

Someone will get a good coach.

 

Dumb move IMO by the Dolphins.

[Wayne Cubed]

Wrong guy in my opinion but Stephon Ross going to Stephon Ross. Chris Grier has had some awful draft picks.

[RunTheBall]

I always thought Flores was way over rated but Ross and Grier are an idiot combo. Miami is going to suck for years to come

[bills6969]

Wow,  stupid.  Maybe they should fire the guy that decided to draft Tua over Herbert.

[RalphWilson'sNewWar]

I was a Flores fan.

But we are all Bills fans…we all saw how literally lifeless the Dolphins were everytime they played Buffalo.

 

it is one thing to lose.  But those games…dolphins didn’t even show up.

 

You can’t have a head coach who is that bad at getting his team focused for big division games.

 

0-6 against Buffalo.  And I’m not sure a single one of them was close at all.

 

I do wonder if Flores was the hold up on the Watson deal…and only could keep his job if he made playoffs.

You don’t want Watson…fine.

but you better make the playoffs.

you didn’t make playoffs?!

We are changing course.

Dumb move. I think the dolphins over achieved the past 2 years based on roster talent.

 

Did Flores decide they should have no o-line? It’s the worst in the league.

[Big Turk]

Dammit! The Fins had no chance with him as coach against us...now they might actually give us some issues.

What coach said that the NFL stands for "Not For Long"?

The lack of patience by some owners is amazing.  I don't know that Flores will be a good HC someday but his W-L record ought to be evaluated against the players he has.  His rosters haven't been overflowing with talent.

He’s going to the Bears if anywhere he’s loyal to the Halas family for drafting him 

 

From what I have read the Raiders were the favorite. I don't see how they get rid of their coach now that he got them into the playoffs. 

[mabden]

Betcha they go after Daboll.

[Iverwig]

Surprising and dumb move by the Dolphins. 

[BuffaloBillyG]

I thought he did enough to save his job. Notice how the team played better after the trade deadline and the Watson media frenzy ended. 

 

I am betting on him getting another HC job this year or next. Not a great game day descision maker (but more HCs these days fall into that catagory IMO)...but had an untalented roster play above expectation for a 2nd time. 

[Alphadawg7]

If we get an opening on our defensive coaching staff this year he would be top of my list.  

[Royale with Cheese]

Flores to Houston and Watson stays?

Bellicheat coaching tree

I believe his coaching tree has a 0% success rate.
 

The patriot way isn’t something that can be replicated outside of BB and New England. I actually don’t think BB could replicate it himself elsewhere. It only worked because Brady helped generate very early success. 

[AmishRifle]

I’m shocked!  

[stevestojan]

Straight swap for Daboll?

Given the season the Bills D just had I bet Frazier gets a HC job somewhere.

This was a surprise but he was expected to build off last season.   He is a good coach so he will get a job soon.

Surprising no doubt. His team played hard for him after 1-7 start. They could've mailed it in but played tough instead. This team could give the Browns competition.
