Let's get this out of the way for the optimistic fans out there right away. Flores has defintley over delivered these past 2 seasons in regards to expectations versus reality in terms of wins compared to losses. Flores has proven he can squeeze the talent out of many players on the defensive side of the ball.
This week along with this season is going to rely on how quickly Flores can make a successful coaching pivot on offense with both his offensive coaching staff, scheme along with getting the most out of his offensive talent.
So I am asking the opinions when you believe this will happen or even might not happen.
 
I agree. It's amazing what Flores has done with the defense.

Offense? I'm not sure what his vision there is. The drafting of Tua had me thinking more in-line with what NE does. And maybe that's the vision. Obviously, the big question is whether the offensive line can put it together. That's the question that will determine the season.

I have faith in Flores, but I don't like what I've seen (yet) from the offense. Admittedly, Miami has played two very good defensive teams. Hoping to turn it around quickly.
 
He’s a monster leg up on Gase.

Gase was supposed to be some offensive guru. That turned out not to be. Didn’t seem to pay much attention to the D.

Flo was supposed to be some defensive guru. I’m thinking he is. Our D is not to be taken lightly. It’s obviously his forte.

Seems as though the whole concept on offense has been to draft/get the guys they want and let them sorta figure it out. Tua, Waddle, hey, they’re good players, they’ll know what to do….

I think the O needs somebody to grab it by the neck and take control. This whole co-coordinators thing seems half assed to me.

If Flo does that (or sees to it that the right guy does), then I believe the team will turn a corner.
 
Flores has done a good job with the defense but has done a horrible job hiring good offensive coaches.

He has coached 34 games as the head coach of the Dolphins and has already hired 4 OC’s and 4 OL coaches in that period of time. That’s just not acceptable. Especially when the offense today is no better than it was the day he was named the HC of the Dolphins.

I wonder what have happened if....

1) AG hired a veteran DC like Wade Phillips?
2) Jim Caldwell (initial O Guru) hired by Flo hadn't had health issues?

When? Hopefully asap. I'm not worried though like I was with every coach since Shula. Flores gets **** done. Hell Flores even said he himself had to do better how many coaches admit that 9/10 coaches blame the players. I can tell you one thing if we give up on flo or grier we will regret it for decades.

our offense is way better, our o-line is extra bad as is the oline coach
 
I have been saying for awhile that once Flores has enough success to attract a top flight OC and OL coach our team will start to turn the corner.

Right now I think Flores is having a little problem with his vision of what he thinks the offense should be, and what a good OC thinks it should be. I don't want a head coach that ignores either side. But maybe he should allow OC's and DC's to call their game and stick to overriding their decisions only in key critical situations during game days. Arguing all you want in game day planning prior to the game is cool with me as long as it doesn't amount to a OC or DC being forced to adopt a scheme or personal they feel can't get the job done.
 
It's hard to see what vision they really had with an offense that can't seem to get everyone on the same page and an OL with more holes than a sieve. Heck, we can't get this baby out of 1st gear. Not sure if Flores can help with that or not. He's got his hands full with trying to keep our defense productive. It seems like that is the only decent phase of the three we've got.
