My prediction is Ross will live to age 95 and will own the team until he dies. So we only have him for another 14 years if I’m right.

If he loses this lawsuit or even just the stress of it is going to take away some years from his life. I give him until 88.
Actually you are defending Flores but that’s your right.I’m saying he obviously didn’t want to come forth with any of this or he would have earlier. Basically, it looks like he was coaching the dolphins and all this was happening and he just kept dealing with it.
Don’t know if he was throwing games, But they did only win 5 games in 19. I guess the fact he kept his mouth shut for two years makes it look bad on his part.
The bottom line is, he is no longer the coach it looks like Ross won’t be the owner much longer either.i’m not defending Brian Flores but it looks like he was caught in the middle to me.
He got fired from the dolphins and didn’t say anything but I think the Belichick text messages and the sham interviews Pushed him over the edge. And that’s why it’s all coming out now.
I don’t think anything will come from this lawsuit except Flores will never coach in the NFL again and Ross will continue to own the team for many more years.
Okay, 7 more years of Ross and not 14. As long as there is a SB win somewhere in those years, I can deal with it.
I swear. Some of the thoughts on here aren't even conjecture or speculation. They are just moronic. Keep holding them accountable Easy. They need to know how ridiculous they are. We're some of the last bastions of proper sensibility around here.

I looked back at records and scores during the 2019 season and there was no evidence that either Cinci, Miami, Detroit or Carolina purposely tried to lose. Rather, the opposite.
But. But. But, you're just supposed to believe Flores! Don't use things like actual records and evidence to guide you. You're supposed to believe because Flores says so!

We’ll have to agree to disagree. The Dolphins philosophy when they hired Flores was publicly stated. Tear down and rebuild, stop convincing themselves that they were one or two players away, build the right way through the draft. I believe that Ross even said it was going to be painful.I’m saying he obviously didn’t want to come forth with any of this or he would have earlier. Basically, it looks like he was coaching the dolphins and all this was happening and he just kept dealing with it.

So Flores was caught in the middle of something he was already aware of from Day One? It was even one of the reasons he got a 5-year contract. Early results were not going to be held against him because they were tearing down the roster.

I think Flores claim is a subtle difference. He's not saying they asked him to directly fix games to lose, but he is saying they didn't put they went out of their way to handicap the team in ways that put them and a drastic disadvantage. This was obviously the case early in the season. Remember Miami was trading away top players and replacing them with practice squad caliber talent.
I never mind anyone offering their personal opinion because this place is about opinions. It‘s a forum. It’s what we do. But I despise the posters who talk as if they are on the inside act as if private information was leaked to them specifically, or just take sides without evidence produced. Unfortunately we’ve had an influx of new posters who act like dolts and spew this crap endlessly
Ross is making our team a laughing stock and more of an embarrassment in the eyes of anybody that doesn't support our team. That's quite an accomplishment with the track record of the team under his ownership. Either way the truth needs to come out ASAP for the fans. This is beyond car crash.

The evidence that Flores is full of **** is the complaint itself, which anyone can read, and you don’t need to rely on some bozo journalist for. His lawyers are not shy about screen shots of text messages, but somehow they choose not to do so when it comes to the claims about Ross offering him $100k for each loss, or Grier supposedly telling him that Ross was mad about too many wins.
Even if Ross were Rachel Phelps, it would be a lot worse for Dolphins fans (and NFL fans generally) if he and the NFL did not fight this nonsense to the end.

As more info comes out it appears that Ross is willing to win at all costs including bending the rules a bit. Unfortunatly his efforts have backfired through bad luck or stupidity. Take your choice.
Flores should have been kept one more year given his track record of wins these past 2 years and our track record of picking lousy coaches for the past 20 years.
The logic Flores brings to the table is a bit flawed when implying that because 80 percent of the players are a minority that should be taken into consideration for hiring a coach. Well 87 of the country is not African American so should that be taken into consideration when aquiring players? It's not because we want the very best football athletes on a team. This applies to all sports not just football in terms of players to coaching race. Anyway.
