Head Coach enters Miami decently, and exits in horror has been a common story here in Miami. We are not going to directly say that Flores will be stuck in this loop, but we also don't want to miss evaluating his stay here either.

The Cycle Recipe (note: step 2 can be skipped)

1. Has a good season
2. decent season
3. Everything tanks after


Dave Wannestead: Follows the Recipe
Nick Saban: Follows the recipe, but bolted before completing it.
Tony Sparano: Follows the recipe as consistent as KFC chicken.
Joe Philbin: All losing seasons
Gase: Follows the recipe


This is Flores 3rd season here in Miami. There are some trends to indicate that Flores might be following this recipe, at least in a different order. We didn't have a good season in his first year, and in his 2nd season we didn't
make the playoffs. On paper it appears that we have improved as a team in areas we were suppose to. If we regress this season as a team, based on the recipe of destruction guidelines it is likely that Flores won't have a better
season in here than in 2020-2021. So at the end of the day what we have here is a huge problem with culture. It seems we keep hitting the reset switch, and making similar decisions which lead to similar results.
 
Its more a curious fact that things have turned out this way vs a way to predict the future.
 
That turnover is the NFL norm except a handful of teams with HOF QBs that keep their coaches game fully employed.
 
So because he had 2 decent seasons, our past coaches have shown that Flores is destined to bust this season? Should he have tanked his first 2 seasons? Should we have given Cam Cameron another year, because he was SO bad his first year, he likely would’ve had Cleo Lemon guide us to a super bowl?
 
Ah but I believe he will follow the Flores cycle that means he will:

1. Win 5 games in his first year
2. Double his wins every year thereafter

Based on the new cycle we’re looking at 20-0 this year, after which the NFL will begin doubling the season every year.

If my post seems less grounded in reality than OP’s to you you might just be a pessimist

Don’t forget about “cycle”. Since gase’s 3rd season was better than his second, Saban only coached 2 years, and Philbin was bad the whole time, we’re looking at 2/5 previous coaches. And since OP already admitted Flores isn’t following the cycle they laid out I’m really struggling to understand what’s going on with this post

When it comes to head coaches in the NFL, you can never predict how one coach will work out based on the previous head coaches.
The fact is every HC eventually is fired or is forced out for a younger HC. That is just the way the coaching profession works in the NFL and all
professional sports.

Eventually Flores will be replaced as the Dolphins head coach, just as every head coach, including Shula were replaced. Whether it will be in a year or two or a decade from now will depend entirely on his ability to put a winning product on the field on a consistent basis.

The difference between the way the team is run now from all the other coaches you listed is that in the past the Dolphins always thought they were a player or two away from the SB and they put more value on winning the free agent signings than in the draft. The best teams win by drafting talented players and not by signing overpriced free agents.

The Dolphins are building through the draft now and trying to develop and keep those players they want to build around. Whether Flores will be able to
get this team to the next level is still to be determined but as a long time Dolphin fan, I am much happier with the way the team is being rebuild today than I ever was when they were constantly bringing in overpriced free agents who never played very well once they got that big contract.

I can certainly understand this narrative. Just has a different feel with Flores, though. Like Miami finally got it right.

A lot will depend on how Tua develops. Not having a quality quarterback was the big commonality with most of these coaching failures.

Just going to keep my reply simple and not sarcastic,

This post just doesn't make sense nor follow any unique or true logic.
 
The only history I see repeating is the poor quality of posts after one preseason game.

For this first time since JJ moved down here we have actual hope and competence in Miami.

We will have a top 5 defense this year.
Tua is already showing signs of being significantly more improved and confident.

You'd have to be blind as a bat to not be onboard with the culture change and shift in Miami.

Keep complaining. These posts will be mocked when Miami is hosting a playoff game this year :D
