I just got a real simple question. Isn't it even more obvious with as bad as our run game is that this guy has no business even getting a O.C. his coffee? He absolutely had to have had to say in the quality of running backs that we carry on this team, as well as the moves that we failed to make to make them better i.e. free agency or draft. This in itself is a red flag that Flores has no business being a head coach because he is unable to get quality coaches in Miami.

Depends.

Does the O.C. take cream and sugar in his coffee?
 
I mean, the worst thing about our run game is the timing of our play calls. Our OL is much better in the run game, Brown improved drastically in pass protection, our backs are great receivers out of the backfield, and Gaskin has 243 on 54 carries. If we can get a lead he can be very good for us. The other 2 have 61 carries for 200 yards combined. Which is the problem. If he’s just designing the run plays. but someone else is calling run plays at the wrong time with the wrong personnel, then he’s not doing bad at all. I’ve seen worse in Miami.

Shoot, I didn't know we even had a run game.....
 
This team needs to be cleansed. Have to get a new GM and a new coach who can bring in real talent in terms of OC, DC...etc.
I believe we have good players that need proper coaching fully develop.
When your whole team struggles it's the coaching at that point.
Flores and Grier built this house of cards and now it's toppling.

I’m not sure what to think here, he had been a pretty good coach it seemed like, prior to this year

He is under the thumb of the o-line coach...who should be arrested for grand larceny.

If the coffee maker is more than about 2 yards away, it appears that he's screwed.

I would assume since he was the run game coordinator for 2 years prior to being co o.c. he has more input on when runs plays are called and rb personal being used more than anyone else. But that's just speculation.

I’m not sure that’s how do things in Miami. And that’s not a joke. For all we know he just designs plays. Or he might be calling every play. Or he might just be calling plays every other week. Maybe they alternate. That’s why Gaskin has 2 weeks with 15 carries and a week with 2.

I can't even judge this guy as the 'run game coordinator' because he has nothing to work with.

Our line is terrible and we don't have a single talented back on the roster.

Yet we have success when we run wide and inside zone with little backs however we continue to run way to much power and mid line, it's definitely purplexing to me at times.

When I see your post that he has no business getting an OC a cup of coffee, it tells me how much you actually know. Eric Studesville is a really, really good experienced NFL coach - probably among the very best on the Dolphins coaching staff and we are lucky to have him.
He has 24 years of NFL coaching experience, including 20 at the running backs position. He has been on the coaching staffs of two conference championship teams (2013 and 2015) and won Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos.
Studesville has helped his players earn three Pro Bowl selections – Marshawn Lynch (2008), Willis McGahee (2011) and C.J. Anderson (2014). He's also been the position coach for 10 1,000-yard rushing campaigns with McGahee (3), Tiki Barber (2), Lynch (2), Knowshon Moreno (1), Fred Jackson (1) and Anderson (1).
His great skill is being able to develop Running Backs and in Miami he is in the process of developing Myles Gaskin (drafted in the 7th round) and Salvon Ahmed (undrafted) both from the Washington Huskies.
