yeah, Ross is a Michigan man. 

 

And being a Michigan man, does he want to poach their best coach?

[Back2Buff]

Seemed like Flores had no emotion.  Reminded me of Todd Bowles.  Also, doesnt know how to pick an offensive staff

I think he deserves a HC Job.  Outside of year 1 with the dolphins, where they sent anyone any good away in trades, he has had a winning record, heck I say winning his last 5 games in his first year with those scrubs shows he is a good HC.  Just so dumb! 

[Juice_32]

Good, he was actually close to making them a threat IMHO.

i bet no. He probably wants Harbaugh to stay there. I bet there would be some tension with his fellow alumni too if he were to poach him— I think Ross is pretty active at the school, if I recall.

I'd like to see him land the Vikings job. There's a lot of talent on that team (and its NFC).

[Greg S]

Now that the Fins are looking for a new HC. May I suggest...

I think this is a very good take from Florio and it addresses the real issue: a bad, absentee owner: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/10/absentee-ownership-directly-contributes-to-weird-outcomes-like-the-firing-of-brian-flores/

100%

 

Its the owner (not Flores) that wants Watson as well.

He’s not staying there unless no one in the nfl wants to hire him. He’s been trying to leave for 2 years.  But he’s not going to Miami 

[RyanC883]

if I'm Denver, Minn, or Jacksonville I'm calling him NOW.  Better talent in all those places than in Miami.

Vikings would be amazing if he went there.  Tons of talent on that team.

whoa really? I didn’t know he has been trying to leave. I don’t follow college football a ton, but I usually will try to loosely keep abreast of Big 10 Stuff.

Too bad the Vikings fired their GM. I think he did a fine job and if you have a GM in place, you're in better position to hire a coach quickly.

Flores is handled the Tua/Fitz and Tua/Watson situations horribly, and tried playing it off like he knew what he was doing. At least he doubled down on Tua after his *****up this year - oh wait he's fired... Must not want Watson now! Guess Ross will leverage their future and destroy the great defense Flores created 

 

I am totally okay with this 

[BuffaloRebound]

If Watson is truly linked to Flores, Flores will most likely be able to pick his next destination.

Doug Pederson will be a strong candidate in Miami I think.  Ross may be listening to Marino.  There was something not right about the Dolphins the last couple of years even with the W-L record.  Things like signing Kyle Van Noy to a long term deal and then cutting him after one season - made no sense.  It had to put strain on internal relationships.  Dolphins folded in big games pretty consistently.

I know why they fired him. 100% because we've rag-dolled them the past few seasons.   I like that idea.

[FilthyBeast]

This is somewhat puzzling but just goes to show that it's truly still a results driven business.

 

In many years back to back 10 and 9 win seasons are good enough for the playoffs or division title but Miami must have other plans in mind and perhaps going 0-6 against the best team in the division also led to Flores demise.

 

Miami is now probably going to be the #1 preferred destination though for any prospective new HC especially if they plan on making a power move for a veteran QB in the offseason to compliment a very talented young roster.

[Coach Tuesday]

I know Pedersen managed to win a super bowl in Philly but other than that he’s a Philbin clone, no?

they're the dumbest franchise this side of Chicago and Detroit. Flores did a very good job with average talent

He’s one of Marino’s best friends and technically is a big part of Miami’s history. I guess I  was wrong about Harbaugh. But I did mention Pederson’s name. We better hope we don’t lose Frazier. Cause if Pederson does go to Miami then I can guarantee Schwartz will follow him

He a hell of a better coach than Philbin could ever dream of being. Also like JoeF was saying I think Ross is starting to listen to Marino
