The lawsuit is against the Giants and their token interview. I never said anything to do with the Dolphins about race. I said his relationship with Dolphins likely soured because he wouldn't tank for the owner.
I haven’t said a thing about his color. He didn’t want Tua over Herbert. Yes he did have some say on players. Jesus Christ I’m saying his last two years are winning records with a lot of things not in his favor in winning should be a big deal. Gase and Philben did not have that. There is more to a resume than record. 1-15 7-9 11-5 total of 19-29 JJ first three years in Dallas. If you reversed those years and his third year was 1-15 he probably wouldn’t have gotten a fourth. And if you went off record alone you wouldn’t have hired him. A lot of the things you said were being said about Flores were said about Jimmy. He was hated. I’m not by any means comparing Flores to Jimmy(my favorite coach ever) just saying Jimmy got to stay long enough to show his greatness. I can make an argument to fire Flores no doubt. I think he did enough to deserve more time. I think getting a group of grown *** men to not quit on the season after 1-7 start and finish 9-8 is a sign of a man that men will follow. Weather they like him or not. In general I could give two ***** if someone is difficult to deal with or abrasive if they get the **** job done. Everyone is so soft shouldered anymore. What coaching tree did he come from? I wonder where he saw how to deal with ****? Maybe from the most hard to deal with prick and greatest coach of all time. What did Ross think he was getting? I hope I’m wrong and Dolphins make a great hire and take off. My guess is we go the other way.
Every dolphins source said he also wanted Tua. The only person making the Herbert claim is the same guy who said mike McDaniel interviewed on Tuesday. He also doesn’t have the clout to act like belichek and be an *******.like I’ve said 10 times I think Flores is a good coach and a bad manager, he got fired bc of being an abrasive manager. I also believe in hard work, but you don’t talk down to people, or ridicule them and expect to have respect.
I agree I don’t think his firing had anything to do with race. I would like to believe not getting the Giants job or any of the other open jobs had anything to do about race. It would be a little naive with only 1 black coach in NFL right now to think there is no issue there.
I said when this story first broke Stephen Ross was about to have more fan support than he’s ever had in his life lol.
Rooney Rule is a charade. NFL teams interview minority coaches because they're forced to. Coaches should be interviewed because they deserve/warrant it. Nothing less. Nothing more. That said, I can't believe there isn't more than just 1 qualified black head coach good enough to lead an NFL team. Sad that Mike Tomlin is the only minority coach in the league. Straight BS!!!
I got you man. Yea I have to respect Ross as an owner bc he will spend money, but I also feel he has made some very poor decision when it comes to Grier and tannenbaum keeping their jobs for so long. Also picking Michigan over the dolphins is grounds for fans showing up to his office with pitchforks. Plus the parking situation at the stadium last year was bull****. You already know he is going to hire Kellen Moore over McDaniel and the fans are going to start WW3. But who knows I was pretty mad when he hired Flores last cycle bc I wanted Kris Richards, but he ended up being a good coach.
Every dolphins beat writer connected to the team said Flores wanted Tua. Keyshawn Johnson is one of the last people I would believe, he has zero connects with the dolphins. Obviously something happened after that first year and it quickly deteriorated Flores and tuas relationship.
Boy I hope he doesn’t hire Moore. McDaniel seems like the obvious pick.
