If you’re serious about winning, Brian Flores is the coach

I really like Flores.  I wanted him as HC as soon as he became available this offseason, and I would be ecstatic if that's the direction we went - but, I do honestly prefer a young OC like Leftwich or Dorsey.  That being said, I still kind of consider all of them as equally desirable for next HC, if that makes any sense.

Context is key.

2019 - 3rd easiest schedule in the NFL (5-11)

2020 - 2nd easiest schedule in the NFL (10-6)

2021 - Overall easiest schedule in the NFL (9-8)

I’m not sure I want a .500 coach who can’t get his team over the hump when provided with the easiest overall group of games from the last three years.

In case you were wondering, the Dolphins current SOS… most difficult schedule in the NFL.

What employer in their right mind would hire someone who is willing to play the race card and prevent them from making rational decisions down the road?

What kind of NFL owner fires a coach who took a dumpster fire of a franchise and roster and made them respectable almost immediately?!?

If Jeff Fisher gets two chances in this league, John Fox gets three chances then Flores sure as heck deserves another shot at it

look at that 2020 roster and 2019 roster, it is HORRENDOUS. The guy was winning games with career journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick

McDaniel is a good coach down there now but just about anyone can look impressive when you have Waddle and Tyreek lining up

America was built upon playing the race card, and those in power still refuse to make rational decisions because of it. So...miss me with that.

This man was pulling miracles in Miami with an abysmal roster. He was 24-25 in his ‘rebuild’ years before the sleazeball owner Ross canned him.

 

 He’s a leader of men- Dolphins players were livid when he got canned

He has first hand experience with undermining owners

Worked with Belichick and now Tomlin, two of the best in the game

Proven track record on stabilizing abysmal franchise

If we’re not going to get an offensive minded coach then I’m taking Flores over Demico Ryans

I disagree.   I think Flores is an ok coach.  I would put him on the same level as Rivera or someone similar.   The biggest thing that hurts his case in my mind is they had a pretty talented roster and the team didnt take a step back at all when he left, if anything theyve looked somewhat better.

No to anyone from the Belichik tree. There are also too many known negatives with Flores. As far as the other 2 you mentioned, as I have said before...I am afraid that Leftwich gets too much credit...he has had Arians (who is still around in Tampa) and Brady.  Dorsey has not proven anything/built anything yet.  So far he has just not screwed up the offense he inherited.

Fitzpatrick won 4 games in 2019, over the past 14 years (2008-2021), Fitzpatrick has won 59 games… what does that average out to… 4 wins a year.

Flores didn’t do anything special with Fitzpatrick, Fitzpatrick just did what he always does, gets you 4 wins.

Horrendous roster or not, you have to deal with the hand you are dealt… not to mention the fact that Tua looks like a completely different player under McDaniel.

Then there’s this… I prefer a coach to have better rapport with his QB than what Flores had with Tua.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
