WTF is this shit? More stupid decisions from Ross and his merry band of idiots. Every year I wonder why I'm still a Miami fan. Maybe we should rename this place to "The Browns Make Me Happy".

The Bengals freed up Hue Jackson yesterday.  Maybe that is what the Dolphins have been waiting for.   Grin

Would make for an interesting triangle in the AFC.

Pats HC former Jets coach
Fins HC former Pats coach
Jets HC former Fins coach.

Bills are left out.

Yeah, like let's hire an offensive coordinator called Philbin as head coach who never called the plays, that will work out fine...  Roll Eyes

Article I read today said that they will probably hire him. It concluded saying something like, "A team hiring a first time HC with no accomplishments by a owner and front office that has failed at all of their previous attempts. What could go wrong?". About sums it up, hahaha.

FYI although Flores didn’t have the title of DC he was the play caller.

So.........We're hiring playcallers to be our head coach. I remember days when we hired head coaches the likes of Shula, Johnson, and Saban to be our head coach. It's been all downhill ever since, now all we hire is assistant helpers.

Looks like Flores is hiring Jim Caldwell to be the offensive coordinator.  Interesting.

I think his resume is a little thin to be a HC.  He has only worked for one team/HC his entire career.  Granted he learned from the best, but he doesn’t have the range of experiences to know what the different approaches are.  Likewise he doesn’t have a huge network to draw on, having contacts on only one team.  He has only two years as a coordinator (and not even full fledge coordinator)

Miami snagging him as a coordinator (which technically would be a promotion) would be a coup for the Dolphins.  As HC i think he will be over his head.

I can’t think of any successful coach that is only in one coaches tree, the successful ones saw how multiple coaches opperated than took the parts they thought were best from each. 

Name a single BB assistant that has been successful as a HC.
Scott Zolak was raving about him to Joe Rose last week. Said he is highly respected by both players and management of the Patriots.

Except for the fact Miami is in the state it's in because (partly) of decisions made by Johnson and Saban and still hasn't recovered...

But let's just pretend everything was great under both and we haven't been a laughing stock since the 70's.

The almighty Jimmy Johnson.  Every team in the AFC East won the AFC East during his time here except Miami.  And Dan Marino was under center.

Don't even get me started on Saban.  

Just because someone is a "name" doesn't make them worthy of a job.

Okay, I've changed my mind on Flores.  He came very prepared with a binder and a 9 month plan during his interview.  Looking like he's hiring good coordinators.  Like the fact he's coached on all side of the ball.  

Hate the fact that the better the Patriots do in the post season, the better he looks as a head coach for us.
