I actually think his non-alpha type of personality might be a refreshing change for the vets in our locker room.
Speaking of which. Those guidelines are ridiculous -If we are talking Rooney rule. It ended up backfiring. I understand the thought behind it but it’s lead to nothing but token interviews. Doing more harm than good for minorities
Flores' vision and input were very heavy. He may not have woke up one day and said I'll fk it up....but he laid the groundwork for asshat behavior long before his firing. Thusly...he was terminated. The GM is not without fault but Flo was trippin...
The idea is that its supposed to allow these guys to get that interview experience even if they don't have much of a chance. But you're right that it doesn't seem to be working since right this second, there's only one black HC. Also, GMs sometimes throw a token interview to a friend just to get that guy's name out there. I heard the rumor that Vance Joseph was close to Grier. I think that's why he's getting an interview, just as a favor to a friend. Can't see us going with another defensive guy.
They probably do have multiple people in mind to replace him. This is not your regular type of job. Regular job's if you start feeling like a change is needed you can call and talk to people even interview people just in general. NFL has strict hiring protocols. You can't interview people during the season or even discuss the possibility, it is called tampering. What you do has no comparison to hiring an NFL head coach. Have you ever hired a person for a position that is basically top 32 their profession in the world? Does your profession have a CBA? Does your profession Does your profession have tampering provisions that won't allow you to talk/interview people at a competing company (NFL team), until a certain date and still require you request permission to interview that person? Are you required to interview 2 minority candidates? If you can't answer yes to all those questions of the bat what you do to hire a person has no real comparison to hiring an NFL coach.
You understand that in his contract Flores had control over the 53 man roster and the coaching staff. We don't know if Grier discussed the staff with him. I'm assuming he did, but hiring and firing them was up to Flores, the buck stops with him there.
While Tua still has questions to be answered, I definitely think he's better than Jimmy G.
Agreed.
No one said they didn't have anyone in mind but the NFL has strict policies that have to be followed. I have no issue with them interviewing multiple people because they get to see, even if they are not hired, the thought process of candidates.
Was not Jeff Ireland. This was before Ireland even came to the Dolphins. We chose Cam Cameron over Tomlin who actually interviewed with us before the Steelers.
Oh, I think we still have somebody in mind, even tho he's still in Ann Arbor for the time being.
