I was wondering this too. I even considered it coming from Ross at the top. Or him/the brass pressuring Grier and he had to make the call. But I assume it has to be Flores if this team is operating like most football teams.
We know the Dallas Cowboys are run by their owner, but not many teams are. As we know Jerry Jones drafted their WR Cedee Lamb this year instead of going for much better options at positions of dire needs. Coach and GM had to accept it and shut up. And we've seen how miserable it failed already. I don't see Ross as this type.
Could also be factors or something personal we don't know about, right. We simply do not know. It might come out at some point if so. The tone and seeing Fitz come out to speak about it and how upset he was leads me to believe it could be something else, something personal even. Who knows. Maybe Flores is a Biden guy, Fitz a Trump guy like Brady and BB are. Or could be Fitz blew up at Flores behind closed doors football related. Or this could have been the plan all along and they planned to NOT be 3-3 and Fitz NOT being good, but, considering Miami has been one of the hottest teams in the NFL in the last 4 weeks, it's a bad look. Sometimes the plan, has to be adjusted. It just doesnt sit well with me, something else has to be at play here.
