So when we hired Flores after the Super Bowl most of the good OCs and DCs were taken with earlier hires. Flores had to settle with Chad O’shea due to late start.

I heard that O’shea Is the one pushing for Rosen in that moment when decisions had to Be made in a hurry in the draft. Apparently after watching and training Rosen, spending a 2nd on him Flores May have lost confidence in O’shea Because of this? His play calling seemed good considering our disaster of an offense so this is my conclusion why he was let go.
 
That was the rumor floating around for a while when he got canned, but that cant be the only reason. People whiff on prospects all the time. Grier & Flores had to have been on board with it too for us to shell out a 2nd.

By those standards Grier should have been fired for picking Harris.

Flores has always says he is looking for teachers. My guess is O'Shea didn't meet those standards for Flores.

Where did you hear that?

I don't believe, for a minute, that a WR coach, which is what Chad was, had any real input on how to best use a 2nd rd draft pick

The coaching staff was in place more than two months before the draft last year. Grier had been the GM since 2016 and Tannebaum was no longer a factor. So I seriously doubt that the decision to trade for Rosen
was made in a “Hurry”.
I think that Flores must have decided to go in a different direction on offense during the season and that is why the firing of O’Shea happened immediately after the season was over. I doubt it had anything to do with the Rosen trade.
While I thought the offense improved tremendously from the start of the season until the end, there was obviously a disconnect between Flores and O’Shea and as the HC, Flores decided to fire O’Shea and hire Gailey.
 
This doesn’t mesh whatsoever with anything that’s been said inside the building

My guess is he was fired due to Ryan frickin Fitzpatrick being our leading rusher. Ya we have talent issues but he did a terrible job in the running game department.

Not to take away from your post but I am pretty sure our trash oline and RBs had something to do with that.

The only reason we did half decent was because Ryan Fitzpatrick is a magician in the pocket.

Our leading rusher was the bearded wonder and i believe we were dead last in the league in rushing. You can polish a turd any way you like by it wasn't just a talent issue.
 
Could never get the running game going. Kalen Ballage averaged 1.8 yards per carry.
 
Our running game sucked and passing game sucked when Rosen was in and with Fitzpatrick early on before he started releasing the ball earlier. The one thing both things have in common is the crappy oline.

Ryan Tannehill sucked behind a very similar oline and went to Tennessee and then lit it up. Some of you will never understand that that is our Achilles heel.

None of our olineman would start on other teams. Our oline is the worst in the league.

We could sign Derrick Henry and he couldn't produce behind these Swiss cheese turnstiles.

I still say this, part of Ballage's failure last year was he just had to think to much. The guy has zero vision but he is an athletic freak. He needs to just be told where to run and run there. I still have hope that with a more simplified offense he would be able to produce.
