Bummer since we owned him, and I could see them pursuing Daboll (regardless of Harbaugh rumors).

 

But HC turnover every 3 years is never good either, so I'm fine with the Miami tire fire still burning.

Daboll was the OC there several years ago and was not good. But you never know. Harbaugh won’t be going there.

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.

After they finish the season winning 8 of 9 with TUA? This is a stupid move. 

 

Exactly ! Hey let's bring in another entirely different staff change the scheme & see how good this guy does with his 3rd different coordinator 🙄

 

But hey that means they won't be very good again next season so keep up the good work Fins ownership ...

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. 

Well he started his coaching career in Oakland so that’s why he’s whispered to people that he would take the Bears job if offered though

Not against us.  Only one game was even competitive during his tenure.

True, that is the one reason I am sad to see him go. 

[TheFunPolice]

Really, really dumb move, IMO.

 

Flores has that team playing pretty well I thought. 

 

The worst part of this is that they might move on from Tua now as well.

Unless you're talking about Lou, no, not in the NFL.  He coached the Dolphins & quit.

Awesome move...

Except Flores OVER Achieved in Miami.  Won 5 games his first year with a JV team, then wins 10 and 9 games when they get some talent…  hmm can the Pats hire him as our D coordinator for the playoffs!? Lmao

I would argue college is a totally different animal. The stuff that gets these BB disciples into trouble in the NFL works in college.

Even thought he never coached for the Pats, Vrabel attributes a lot of his success to playing under Belechick for so long and learning from him. I'd at least give partial credit for that one. 

Haha— you are too generous. Vrabel gives out a lot of credit, including to his time with the Steelers too. The fact that when he started, he built his staff with ex-Steelers, suggests to me that the NE influence is less or at least tempered. 
 

The reality is Vrabel doesn’t seem to coach in any way or manner like Bellichick or the other former NE coaches— who seem to try to rule with an iron fist. Maybe he learned in NE also what not to do.

Exactly! This is nuts, but it's not our problem at least! Very good chance they downgrade at HC

[May Day 10]

That team had an embarrassment of riches going into the offseason and completely dropped the ball.  

[Hebert19]

If Frazier leaves I'd hire him in 1 second.

Oh Dolphins.  Every time they seem like they might be getting a pulse as a team, they do stuff like this.  No sympathy, but damn, find a plan and stick to it.

To say he's was not impacted by his time with NE and BB is just not correct -sorry.

[BuffaloBill]

Wow this is surprising as he seemed to be turning them around in the back half of the season.

[Rochesterfan]

I just believe he was terrible at making relationships.  He screwed up the situation last year with Fitz and then left Tua out to dry through the trade deadline.

 

I have to believe Tua is thrilled he is gone.

 

I could see him going to Houston, but he seems to me exactly like Bill O’Brien type coach - so we will see what happens.

Can’t get over how bad this decision is. If the Phins wanted to land the best coach in the open the market right now, they’d be interviewing Brian Flores
