I was against the Flores hiring. The track record for Belichick's coaching tree is pretty freakin bad. But Flores showed me something last year. He's definitely got his own style but he has some Belichick traits as well. I loved the way he ripped into referees during games...something we haven't seen here in forever. He's emotional...the kind of emotion that feeds into the team. The guys seemed to play hard for him and the development of players was another thing we just haven't seen here in a long time...and guys got better across the board...not just one unit or one player.
I'm still not totally convinced, however. Cautiously optimistic is more the term I use. If player development continues and guys continue to play hard for him then I think we may have finally found a good coach. Year two for all the recent coaches has always been the more accurate picture of the type of coach the Dolphins have hired.
Yeah I was going to say the same thing about how he gets on the refs in defense of his players!
