Great analysis, and thanks for not giving a lazy reason as to Flores' firing. By no means is the rest of the organization free from their own problems, but the situation with Flores was much more complicated than a lot of people are making it out to be.

[@mattyaboi1653]

I was fully expecting him to say “Flores did nothing wrong”. He was an ass, and was power hungry. I mean you don’t tell your starter that, we shouldn’t have drafted you. Especially, when you’re 1-7 with Tua playing a reduced role to start the season. Then you get to the fact that he has the same record as Adam Gase.

[@smilingearth5181]

​@@mattyaboi1653 Not to mention his record against a major opponent. I get growing pains and all that, but he finished his career in Miami winless against Buffalo. As a Bills fan myself, I was happy to have two penciled in wins a season, but if I were in the Dolphins front office I'd have considered letting him go for that, atop his increasingly toxic leadership. You just can't go winless against a division rival and NOT be on the hot seat.

Obvious reasons: lack of success, lack of communication skills, failure to adjust to evolving playbooks, being a general douche with no respect Not always obvious: office politics and power struggles in team organization, either when a team needs a scapegoat (ahem, Eagles) or if a star player demands someone gets let go Baffling reasons: ego, power tripping (may or may not overlap with office politics), chasing trends without any knowledge or plan

[@scaryhobbit211]

I.e. Mike Zimmer. He was guilty of a lot of these sins, plus had built a somewhat toxic environment (which shoulda been brought up as a factor especially in light of Urban Meyer, imo). Unlike other coaches who lost a power struggle though, Zimmer managed to drag Rick Spielman down with him.

[@gatienlaurol5793]

Chuck Noll didn’t record a winning season with the Steelers until his 4th year on the job. He didn’t win a Super Bowl until his sixth year. He held the job for 23 years. Bill Belichick had a 5-13 record with the Pats before winning his first Super Bowl. Bill Walsh won 8 games in his first two years on the job. Tony Dungy was fired in Tampa, then lost his first playoff game with the Colts 41-0, and didn’t get a Super Bowl as a coach until his 11th year (6th as the Colts head coach). Moral of the story: Sometimes patience and faith in the coach pay off in the long run.

This is true, and it can be more of an ownership/upper management problem rather than the coach, as the Schottenheimer example showed. People good at their jobs can't properly flourish if they're in a toxic environment. Bellichick's first HC gig was with the Browns, where he was fired. Would he have had success had he been able to stay? Maybe, but the Browns are a badly run team.

Hey man big fan of your vids, but just a small note. There is a rumor going around that Flores wanted Herbert over Tua. As far as I understand (being a life long Phins fan) this is not true. If they could have traded up and gotten Joey B they would have, but barring that long shot Tua was the man. GM Chris Grier was at the very least not going to pick a QB without consulting Flores, but more likely just straight up went with whoever Flores wanted. There is a lot of hindsight on Justin Herbert but at the time of the draft Tua was considered by EVERYONE to be the clear pick. Herbert didn't have the prettiest tape (from my understanding, I'm far from an expert) and was seen as more of a project. Nobody saw his crazy rookie season coming. Due to his and Joey B's success Tua has been under a microscope and unfortunately will likely be considered a bust because he has 5 turnstiles for an O Line. I like Tua but at this point I really wonder if we haven't broken him : /

Chicago loves hiring coaches who have a unorthodox and extra creative playbook that has worked for a spell at previous places.

For both of them they would need stellar offensive lines and for both of them we lacked just that. Mike has Cutler do a 7 step drop back 3 times in a row and each time he's hit before he can turn around and plant his foot... What does Mike call for the next 5 plays? More 7 step drop backs.

[@bigj6143]

You know, I see racism brought up alot. You all might be right. Marvin Lewis, African American Head Coach, of the Cincinnati Bengals for 16 years without as much as one single playoff win. In the closing moments of a 2015 playoff game vs. The rival Steelers three undisciplined players cost the team the game. Hill, Burfict, and Pacman Jones were the names of the players. Hill fumbled when the game was in the bag, Burfict was a 4th down penalty taking a cheap shot that was totally unnecessary and the team was penalized and Pacman added another penalty for good measure. If that wasn't awful enough their head coach, Marvin Lewis, brought all three players back the following year. Of course, Lewis himself returned and NEVER led the Bengals to another playoff game. All four of the before mentioned should have been cut/fired prior to the start of the 2016 season. No excuses no questions answered. Too easy. However, the teams failure or apprehension or fear or whatever set the franchise into a cultural tailspin that signaled to the rest of the league and those sought after free agents that there is zero accountability in Cincinnati. Who wanted to come to Cincinnati then and get busted up over 16 games and then have bad tempered undisciplined idiots to blow it for you because they can't control themselves? Plus they keep their jobs also? So, based on performance, among other things, why wasn't Marvin Lewis rightly terminated? I mean much sooner. No NFL team has even considered hiring him since he mutually agreed to finally leave Cincinnati. He is now a Nobody Special Advisor for Arizona State University for Herm Edwards. Some keep crying about opportunities and others fail to mention the opportunity one coach, Lewis, received which was way beyond what was reasonable and fair. 16 years, the media was comparing Marvin Lewis to Bill Belichick. Belichick has wins, he has playoff wins, he has multiple Super Bowl appearances and wins. Lewis has none of these as a head coach yet his tenure approached that of Belichick? What is wrong with this picture? I know whenever something that could possibly be considered racist concerning hiring practices occurs it is jumped all over by leaps and bounds. The bandwagon fills up quickly too. I think there is more to this as a whole then just what Brian Flores wants to do to influence how others feel about it based on what he himself thinks. This racist thing all began by making teams interview a certain number of candidates based on race. There is no getting around that even though it keeps getting interpreted in other ways. Like it is a rule but it has to be followed in the spirit as if you really and truly want to interview these candidates without regard to race but so is you know X amounts you interview need to be what is considered a minority race. Everyone knows what that means despite the casual nonchalant natural way owners and GMs are supposed to conduct their interviews and hiring of candidates they themselves have every right in the world to choose. Just make sure it is diversified. You are not investing money. Some say minority owners are needed. You going to force owners to sell their franchises because the color split is off? I know owners in other sports have been forced to sell due to being labeled as racists. Being recorded without their knowledge in some cases also. You want to earn something or have it handed to you? I think the ultimate goal is to just get it or get to the desired balance, whatever that is determined to be, no matter how it occurs. If it is earned based on hard work I am 100 percent for it. If it is gifted based on some racial or even gender quota I am not for it. That is not equal opportunity. That is not what Dr. Martin Luther King was for either.

nice novel, bro.

Here's an idea for a video. Why teams won't hire Eric Bienemy as a head coach.

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

Uh, when they suck?

[@mtmadigan82]

Well I can tell you this much, you could get away with not flying home with the team after a game. Bonus points if you let your employee at the restaurant you own give you a lap dance before the team plane even takes off. This would be my example if I was there and we got caught doing a midget tossing at a bar. "Oooh so its ok when the coach acts like a clown, but we cant?"

[@Dr_Disconnect]

The way you get fired is by making the owner / hire ups mad.

Putting Jamarcus Russel on Lana Kiffen is completely unfair. He never wanted to draft him he wanted Megatron. Al Davis just never lost his hard on from seeing Jamarcus through the ball 60 yards on his knees.

Kinda weird but anyone else notice Brian Flores wearing the dolphins old logo on his hat but the new logo on his jacket 😂

[@payton71]

you jinxed the bengals

Nagy was a main factor in trubiskys lack of production. He's not a good HC

[@zarvonrejaee8147]

Matt Nagy was carried by the defense, which is an indictment against him because he’s an offensive head coach

[@Potter5416]

Don’t forget the ny offensive coordinator was Jason Garrett

[@Deathstroke4200]

I don't think Kiffen wanted JaMarcus Russell lol

[@Aspoooonful]

Best losing Tom Brady Pic for a statue in NY

[@bodhithespoodergen]

I was dancing when Brian Flores fired and when tom Brady retired

[@EvilDickism]

[@bodhithespoodergen]

@@EvilDickism dolphins that’s no hate to himself just I hate the dolphins cause I’m a jets fan
