Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald seems very, very sure that Flores is the front runner, that both Chris Grier and Steve Ross want him, and to hear it from him you wonder they don't just announce tomorrow that he's the guy they're hiring.
The problem is, there ARE conflicting reports going on.
My source was, and is (reiterated) pretty adamant Flores's interview wasn't all that impressive. They said seems like a good guy, but interview didn't knock anyone's socks off. Beasley's source definitely disagrees with that.
Meanwhile Las Vegas is handicapping John Harbaugh (+250) and Kris Richard (+300) as the favorites, with Brian Flores (+1000) and Eric Bieniemy (+1000) at the very BACK of the pack.

Which, by the way, fits EXACTLY what I continue to hear from national media sources, who keep telling me that everything they hear points toward Richard, but that they also know Miami continue to pick at the Harbaugh Gordian knot (which I personally don't believe they'll ever solve, because I will continue to believe John Harbaugh is just using Steve Ross).
Dallas beat writers have been sniffing this out and they believe Kris Richard is going to Miami.
And we (3YPC) know, and are to my knowledge the only ones to reveal this, that Kris Richard himself is expecting to schedule a 2nd interview with the Dolphins, playoff schedule permitting.
I honestly don't know what to believe. Beasley's a pro. I trust him. But there's definitely conflict here.
