Speaking for myself personally it’s more the contrast between Richard and Flores than anything. Richard just gives the impression that he has a great future ahead as a head coach. He is dynamic, great teacher, passionate, spearheaded a legendary unit and was a big part of Seattle’s super bowl run and Dallas’s success this year. When I look at Flores, I don’t see the resume that screams out future great HC nor does he have the personality that shines like Richard... but that is all just pretty uninformed opinion from the outside. None of this means that Flores can’t be a success. I could be dead wrong about his ability to lead a team as a head coach. He could be the next Dungy for all I know.
At least he’s not a total d-bag at first blush. For that reason I’m going to throw my support behind him and hope he surprises me and vastly exceeds my first impression of him.
