Flores gets hired, Steelers LB coach

[billsfan89]

A steal for Pitt, glad to see Flores not getting blackballed

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Lovie couldn’t hack it in college and I was never a fan of his coaching style. His offenses as a HC have been brutal and really doesn’t belong in the NFL. 
 

If all this stuff Flores was accusing everyone of is false he needs to be gone from the NFL.

Gotta wonder what the league office promised the Steelers to make this hire.

WOW!  Shocked he got hired!

 

Yeah.  A lot of people said he'd never work again in the NFL, just like Kaepernick.    I confess, the thought crossed my mind too.

 

I'm glad the NFL - at least the Steelers - is more enlightened than we thought.

I wouldn’t have wanted him on the Bills after he exposed private conversations and demeaned the hiring of Lovie Smith.

 

Generally, people who want to bribe somebody else to do something illegal do so privately, including people who plan robberies, murders, terrorist acts etc.   I guess you're good with that.

I believe there was some sarcasm intended in the post that you're referring to, although it's not always easy to detect via thismedium.

 

I know I caught it, I was just messing around.

Is by some chance, Steve belichick ever becomes their HC is give them 3 1st round comp picks. 

 

But only if he gets a haircut.

Nice of you to go out of your way to equate bribery to murders, robbery, and terrorist attacks. I guess you’re okay with that. You’re also probably okay with someone sharing your private texts with the public, even if it makes you look bad or foolish.

Once someone shows they’re not afraid to put private talks out in public, it doesn’t matter what conversations you share with that individual - positive or negative - everything is fair game and you have to watch what you say. Flores showed his true character with the “but they didn’t hire me!” remark he made about Lovie.

He doesn’t run the same defense as McDermott / Frazier so it would be quite a transition.

Although to be fair - there's a huge difference between hiring a linebacker coach, and hiring a head coach

but its a positional coach position.....you would think Flores would be able to adjust to that.

Honestly happy I wasted my free read of buffalo news on that. 

 

Was perfect for a good laugh and why I don't read it in the first place.

I think people need to understand that there is a difference between the cadre of NFL owners and the brotherhood of coaches.  Coaches weren’t going to blackball Flores because they know there is truth to what he’s saying.  Tomlin has autonomy and can hire whatever assistants he wants.

 

Said another way:  Flores’ problem is going to be whether he is ever hired as a HC again…not whether he coaches.

I am not sure why, but this makes a ton of sense. Maybe the most stable franchise in the NFL from a coaching perspective, 3 HC in like 50 years. 

 

53 to be exact, which has to be a record in any sport, including NCAA. AND!!!!! 9 starting quarterbacks in 53 years!! They didn't always finish the season, due to injury performance, etc.. 12 others were involved as well I believe. 

For the record the Bills have had 17 starters with 30 others involved in the same 53 years.

Can't stand the Steelers, but they seem to be in or around the playoffs every year.
