Thanks djphinfan. That's a great question right now, and I'm curious for the answer. Ignoring any league tampering rules that may apply, how much does FH think HC Flores is worth in terms of draft picks? What would it take for another team to acquire him from Grier right now? That kind of useless speculation might be more worthy of it's own thread than the confusing mixed bag of rumors flying around between now and the draft lol

Coaches don’t get traded period so how do you answer this if it doesn’t happen and there’s really nothing to compare it to? I know you wanna speculate so let’s say it’s a 6th. He’s not proven yet but he’s considered a good coach in nfl circles

The Patriots had to give up draft picks for Belichick. It can happen, however its very rare.

The Jets ultimately acquired three of the Patriots’ draft picks — in the first, fourth, and seventh rounds — while sending New England their fifth- and seventh-round picks.
 
To be honest, I think it's just too soon to tell. Miami's been in similar situations, where a 1st year head coach came in and successfully coached, the Dolphins to a winning record. But none of them had less to work with than Brian Flores. Flores certainly showed what good coaching and player development, actually looks like. But, he's fired many of those coaches who've helped him develop those players. Question, now becomes, can he do it again with practically, a completely new assistant coaching staff. Unlike the others, Flores didn't achieve a winning record, but he opened eyes around the league, with his intense style. Players seem to love playing for him. No more me first attitudes, it's all about team. If he pulls another rabbit out of the hat this year, then we may have something special.

Jon Gruden, Don Shula, Bill Belichick, and Dick Vermeil were traded for picks. You should at least know about Shula
 
Conditionnal 6th at best IMO...
 
Good topic, and very informative for at least one poster who isn’t much of a historian.

If a team is trading for talented young coach who could conceivably hold that job for 20 years, sky’s the limit in terms of value.

It’s not like trading for a player who has an obvious expiration date.

I’d say he’s worth a 1 and a 4 right now. Which is nothing really if you believes he’s quality. I don’t think Miami would take that if they were offered it.

It’s just as hard if not harder to find a quality coach then it is a quality QB. Ryan Tannehill was a better QB than any coach was a coach we’ve had since JJ.
 
Gruden went for two firsts I believe..

you know the phrase “everyone has a price tag”??

not Flores imo..and that’s because I believe he has modern day Lombardi qualities..
