If this keeps up, he will be let go. I suspect that in a division with Allen and (perhaps) an ascending Jones, they will feel compelled to hire an offensive minded HC. Seeing the job in Dallas, I think Kellen Moore will be one of the candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD went to the playoffs in a year they pulled Tyrod Taylor for Nathan Peterman. Top that Flores! 4 hours ago, hondo in seattle said: I confess... Last year I read/heard stories about how the Dolphins were the following the Bills blueprint and that Flores was South Florida's McDermott: a team-first, follow-the-process, culture builder. When the fins finished 10-6 last year - doubling their win total of the year before, I believed those stories. Silly me. Btw, as a reminder, the only time McD didn't get the Bills into the playoffs was 2018 when the we had the lowest active cap spending - and arguably the weakest roster - in the NFL. Just earning 6 wins that season was a solid bit of coaching. Turns out it wasn't Flores that got that team to buy in and believe. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick.

FilthyBeast Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not here to defend Flores, he's obviously going down the path of many other failed Belichik assistants away from Foxboro but in his defense the main reason why the Dophins season has gone up in flames is the QB position. But even if Tua had been 100% healthy all season can't see them being any better than 3-3 right now anyway. Still think they will probably end up landing Deshaun Watson at some point between now and next offseason but probably will have a new coach in place too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I was scared of the Dolphins/Flores. I saw what they did when they started out like 0-5 and looked historically bad 0-16 candidate and started to play for their coach and very respectable. It felt McDermott-like. Then you saw they were going to have (a few) cracks at franchise quarterbacks as well as an embarrassment of riches as far as premium draft picks go. Some really good pieces on defense too. Im surprised it has gone so far off the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking Tua over Herbert will haunt them for next 15 years or so unless they find their QB they can win with. Same for the Jets taking Darnold over Allen.

dpberr Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Flores is like many coaches who've failed in the NFL, including Buffalo coaches Dick Jauron and Rex Ryan. They are either reluctant to, or know how, to adapt their strategy when it's been figured out. Flores is same exact coach he was his first year, and the opposing team knows what's going to happen. The position requires a person who adapts and changes strategy persistently, sometimes quarter to quarter. You can get away with running the same game plan out there week after week in college. In the NFL, that's a sure way to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott's 2nd season was all about developing Josh Allen. The record was irrelevant. Flores isn't developing anyone & the owner wants Watson, not Tua if Watson remains a free man in 2022. If Miami wins 4 or fewer games he & the GM will be out on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for the Jets taking Darnold over Allen. Taking the wrong QB in the 1st round is extremely costly. It usually means the coach loses his job. The team that makes the right choice usually goes on to be a Super Bowl contender while the team making the wrong choice ends up in contention for a top 10 draft choice. There are a lot of examples where a team picked a QB in the 1st round & the team that picked the next available QB got the franchise QB while the 1st team drafted a mediocrity or a bust. The two you mentioned are prime examples. The LAC are way ahead of Miami & the Bills are on a different planet than the grounded Jets. Add Chicago to the scrap heap (the team owned by Aaron Rodgers) who picked our own Mitch Trubisky & the next QB taken in that draft was KC's Mahomes.
