Bill Cowherd among those supporting a Flores hire as head coach. He seems to think he would be a great fit with the raiders. In fact there are rumors Flores might be a raider.
Seems like just about every former nfl pro thinks we messed up

Bill Cowher I assume. Not sure he's every NFL former pro though. He has his opinion.

It should be obvious that Flores can and will probably be a good NFL coach. He just ****ed up too many things here for it to be with the Dolphins. If he learns and grows from his shortcomings, that is. Anyone who thinks he realistically had a shot to do that here has been pretty ignorant to all the shortcomings he's been dealing with though.
A lot of coaches/experts thought Ryan Leaf was going to be great and maybe even better than Manning.

i'll wait to hear from the ones that were inside the building and know all of the reasons behind the scenes that these yuckety-yucks don't.
(there won't be any).

Because if any of their employees told them to F themselves they would still retain them.
Also who was Flo going to hire on offence, no1 wants to work for him. Ok he goes to the bears, hires our OL coach to be his OC, has a good D and a terrible offence. Same ol story.
Also sorry to say but it seems a lot of the narrative seems to be about race. How come a decent afro american coach doesnt get many chances like a white coach etc. And although that may have some merit, it isnt the case here. Flo was fighting the owner, the gm and the QB. ok BYE

You could use a lot of the same logics to say Fitz should of stayed our QB.....the fact is he lost to good teams and beat bad teams (lost to a few of those as well). Sometimes mediocrity and being on the cusp of being better is a dangerous thing. We were at the same stage last year and did not move once inch towards being better. There is a term fish or cut bait that applies here. I wish Flo could have been different in certain aspects, just as I wished the same thing about Fitz. They both have a bunch of great qualities. However there is a reason Fitz has never been to the playoffs and has a horrible record against good teams...in a smaller sample size, you can say the same thing about Flo. I do think Flo learns from this and becomes a better HC because of it.
Nobody mentions two years in a row season ends in humiliating fashion to Bills and Titans. Offense, defense, special teams both games were not ready and a train wreck. That starts with the head coach.
Flores would still be the coach if he operated within the confines of what he agreed to when hired.
We didn’t make a mistake. Flores forced our hand. Grier is on record saying that when push comes to shove, he will go with coach’s player choice. To me that would be a coach’s dream.
Flores wanted all facets of the operation run his way, including no information released period without his approval. That type of authority comes from consistent winning.
Wish him the best and hopefully he’s learn a few things from this situation. I think he’s leaving the Dolphins in better shape than when he took over.

Exactly and apparently a jerk off to boot

A lot of "experts" were destroying the Dolphins for benching Fitzpatrick because the only game they saw was the Thursday nighter, and that was his best game of the year. Fitz was pretty bad leading up to his benching, but no one knew that except Dolphins fans.
Biggest bust in NFL history, hell maybe even sports in general.
The media is blowing hot smoke. Just ask this guy.
