It’s well known especially for the players. The whole my way or the highway message has began to fall on deaf ears specifically for our older guys like DVP X Byron Jones Jesse Davis even Jacoby Brissett and a handful more. Our young guys are seeing and hearing the older guys b*tch and moan about how we got very few vets on the team.
Our locker room is not in a good place. This past offseason when they shipped out KVN Shaq Lawson Bernardrick McKinney and a few others it sent the message from Flores view that I’m not dealing with anybody questioning anything so we’re just going to go with young guys that I can mold and that won’t stand up to me bc they don’t know any better. They haven’t been in the league long enough to feel like they have any credibility to say anything.
It’s like being on a new job for the first few months do you feel like you could walk up to a guy that’s been there for 4/5 years or more and try to correct him? Of course not. That’s kind of what’s going on.
Flores has slowly but surely gotten into this mode of how a college coach runs things. Like Saban who don’t take no s*it from anybody. At Alabama it’s Sagan’s way or you’re out of here. He rules with an iron fist. That’s what Flores has been doing more and more bc he had some success his first couple years. It’s just fed his ego more and more.
NFL guys aren’t going to deal with that especially from an unestablished coach bc really Flores hasn’t done much of anything. He doesn’t even have a playoff appearance. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
