I thought this was an interesting little nugget...

“Here’s what I would tell them,’’ Flaherty said. “I was there when Brian was a first-time head coach. I don’t compare people but I was with Jim Caldwell when he was a first-time head coach at Wake Forest and I saw the growth with Jim every year. I worked for him for six years and I saw him get better and better and better. He had a different demeanor than Brian, maybe because he was an offensive coach. Brian was rough around the edges with the staff and I think some of it was because he was a defensive coordinator and they learn to hate offensive people. It wasn’t anything that shocked me."

I don't do all the hiring and firing at my job, I have input, but as someone in a leadership role my point of view is if you're on my team, you're on my team and I'm going to foster the best relationship I can with you until you aren't.

Flores doesnt seem to have that type of mentality.

"He was a defensive coordinator and they learn to hate offensive people." Funny way to put it.
 
Thanks for posting. I remember it happening, but it’s still shocking reading that first-person account.
 
By the way, how bad could Flaherty have been? Wasn't he O line coach for the Giants on two Super Bowl teams? He might have been able to significantly help our young O linemen, by a large margin.

Flores has an attitude of complete denial of his actual work and he thinks he is always right. Everything is a conspiracy against him in his mind. I outgrew that when I was 15 and my dad would call me on that. This is when certain doctrine send the wrong message to people. Fatalism and your chances are totally up to other people as opposed to being the best and making your way. Flores was well regarded. He was hired once and no doubt would have been hired again. Doug Pederson is white. He just got hired but he sat out awhile. It's not unheard of.

Anyway, regarding Flaherty, he no doubt would have helped the Austin Jax's and the Eichenberg's get ready to play. Flores' handling of his staff was 100%, absolutely, positively, with no room for argument, unacceptable.
 
O’Shea was apparently in the midst of his exit meeting with Fitzpatrick when Flores beckoned him and dropped the hammer. O’Shea returned to the meeting and informed Fitzpatrick he’d been fired, and the quarterback was reportedly shocked at the news–or maybe the timing.

Either way, O’Shea was suddenly out of a job just days after he’d helped engineer a Week 17 win over the Patriots that cost the latter home-field advantage in the postseason.

0 tact or respect for others. Just gut feelings and having a guy half way through doing his job and firing him mid meeting? Couldn't have waited 20 minutes or done it before?

I really wouldn't be surprised if Flo is the racist in all this.

What a bizarre article. Extremely unflattering things to say about Flores, but finishes with 'I'm available if you get the job.' :munch:

I don’t think Flo’s a racist, but it does appear that he is a narcissist.
 
Wow. Wasn't even aware of ANOTHER experienced coach that Flores ran out the door.
