In the end it is literally the same people who hated the hire of Flores and look for any excuse to dis the guy.
As @BillsFanInPeace said: position coaches do not have as much impact as Coordinators but their job is to get the units ready to function in a system installed by his superiors.
Obviously it is a lingering issue since spring. Maybe Flaherty couldn't or wouldn't coach the OL to get ready to function in our new offensive system. The timing is perfect. They waited for the first TC, decided it is a no-go and used the short break to make the change. That shows leadership and accountability and dedication to the success of the team.
Yep just look at what McD did in Buffalo and a lot of people initially flamed him for it. But First year HC he surrounded himself with Senior Veteran Coaches. Because he was just feeling his way and wanted to make sure he had people he could lean on. Now the assistants are mostly changed out especially on Offense bringing in Grinders and younger coaches because now he wants them to fit HIS vision.
So Flores hires someone he was familiar with as he was learning to be a HC. Found it wasn’t working. And made a change.
Everything might Fail for Flores or he might succeed as a HC. But all Fin Fans should be happy about his decisiveness. If he is that way with his own staff that is going to translate to the players as well.
This should be a moment of Hope and excitement that a coach and FO are so quick to admit a mistake and move on from it. Those are the hard decisions but the ones that can do it effectively are the ones you want running your football team.
