When was the last time we had the same coaching staff three years in a row?

I'm not sure if we have a quality control coach (or staff), but if we do I'd like to see an upgrade. If we don't, it is clear we need one that holds Offensive and Defensive playcallers, player execution, and game planning accountable. I think we can all agree play calling, game planning, and stupid mistakes hindered this team.

I'm not a Joe Woods fan, but the defense showed improvements overall and the team made good adjustments at halftime. Would love to see more aggressiveness, but I'm ok with keeping him another year.

What the hell are the Dolphins doing??? They finish 8-1 down the stretch and were 1 game from the playoffs and they fire their coach?? Crazy

There was supposedly some strife between Flores and the GM.

You know you made a horrible move when the guy you fire immediately becomes the best coach on the market.

Brian Flores! Dolphins HC, WGGTG as a consultant or a director of 2ndary how to play on gamedays or something.

And Flores and Tua as well.

Not a coach, but FO...

If someone hires Kwesi and/or Cook we get a third round pick.

How cool would it be if he won coach of the year?

Sounds like Joe Judge is back … maybe. Lol the Giants are such a cluster

I thought it was (2) 3rd round picks?

You’re right!

If both Kwesi and Cook got hired we would get four third round picks (two in 2022, two in 2023).

Talk about a a cool version of the term "compensatory picks".

Well lets hope they get hired!

It’s a true win-win. If they get hired we get compensated. If they don’t get hired we get to keep highly competent people in our front office.

If I’m hiring a new head coach:

1. Brian Flores
2a. Eric Bienemy
2b. Byron Leftwich

Most of the names out there are retreads, definitely not hiring Dabol.

I’d throw everything at Flores also. He’s clearly the best guy available.

So you would go after a guy who was just let go because he couldn't get along with his QB or his GM?

Or was it his QB and GM who couldn’t get along with him? I don’t know the details. I just know the Dolphins played way better than I expected them to over Flores tenure.

Flores reportedly interviewing with the Bears today. He might end up being out of work for about 36 hours.

Anyone have the inside scoop on why Miami tossed Flores?

Flores being fired was stupid. The GM keeping his job who took Tua over Herbert ... equally so.

I've hated so much about the Browns past 3rd round picks, I hope they trade them all to move up in the First!!!

The Browns are not a low talent expansion team. The Browns started 2021 top 3 in the entire NFL in talent. What the heck are they going to do with 5 3rd round picks? They don't need any more Jordan Elliotts, 1 is enough, more than enough imo.

3rd round picks are not 3rd round picks!
3rd round picks are flat out not what they were when the draft only had 28 teams and not all of the add ons of extras.
3rd rounders are the sweet/spot (actually Sour) of where teams get 5th round talent, and it get's treated like 1st round and it's NOT, and the Team Suffers!

So he won all of those games with Tua as his QB and now th GM was stupid to pick Tua? It seems like some people want it both ways. "Well the QB is the wrong guy but the HC did great with him anyway".

The math on that one doesn't add up.

Especially since the GM and QB both suck, can't blame a guy like Flores who comes from patriot pedigree to not want to deal with that nonsense. The player/pundit reaction says it all.. Flores should feel relieved to get away from that joke of a franchise. I'd take Flores over stefanski this second without a second thought. Dude gets the most out of everyone. If you win 7 games in a row and Tua is your QB, you're not a good coach, youre a miracle worker

For someone who doesn't know the details it sure looks like you've made up your mind.

If that GM was the same guy that thought Adam Gase was a good idea, and if that QB was Tua... I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I'm glad that Flores single handedly won all of those games in a row.

I'd say Miami won more thanks to their Defense, from my perspective watching the games.

In their last six games they scored over 30 points or more in half of them. I'd say it was pretty even in terms of their offense having very good production.

So you're saying he was just along for the ride?

Why don't you just state your opinion of the HC, the GM.

Once you have done that you can defend your apparent position that picking Tua ahead of Herbert was a good selection.

Joe Judge blew his one shot as a head coach because he couldn’t stop lying in press conferences (among many other things).

Also there seemed to be an issue between Flores and Taglevola (yeah, I butchered the spelling.....)

This all begins and ends with Gettleman's dumb ass who just "retired". Yes, folks, the same Gettleman that bested Dorsey twice within a handful of days in trades.

With all the coaches and assistants getting canned around the league...here's a quick throwback story to when Chudzinski got the boot. What a good guy!

I saw this the other day. He is a good human.

I wish it had worked out for him here. I really wanted him to succeed (beyond the fact that he was our coach).
