You fired the wrong guy !!

Lawrence Irvin

The next hire will determine how/if this decision makes any sense. The reality is the dolphins NEVER should have gone 1-7 to begin with. Ross made his mind up awhile ago. If the team started 8-1 then went 1-7 all y’all would want to Fire Flo🤦🏽‍♂️ All we have is hope as fin fans. I’ll still be watching come September. Phins up! 🐬🙌🏽🏈

    i don’t agree with the decision to fire flo but u not a fan if u saying sum like that. let’s just see what happens but i did like flo a lot

    Caleb House

    Not a true fan

J- Boy

Important to save this defense while fixing the offense. Let’s get Mike Zimmer or Vic Fangio as DC ASAP! Either Doug Pederson, Eric Bienemy, Joe Lombardi or Jim Harbaugh as head coach

    Brando 72

    No rookie coaches!,only proven winners like Harbaugh, Pederson,etc,

    Andrew Achal

    @Soflo Sports Fangio and harbaugh

    julio centeno

    Eric Bieniemy & then go get Watson done

HelloDoI KnowYou?

Why fire Flores. I am telling you I know he started 1-7, but who rebounds like that? Chris had one good draft year but so what? Flores was learning and developing and getting way better. He was literally loved by many fans and especially players.

    John Cummings

    @Yankor Ramos That’s a cop out.,…they had 7 chances to win 1 game that would have got them to the playoffs……Flores has to find a way to win 1 or 2 of those at a minimum….. simply inexcusable!!! If a team can win 7 of 8 after that….then they surely had enough talent to win one of those seven consecutive losses…… somewhere coaching let them down early on.,…perhaps negative vibes….but coaching is guilty if negativity gets to a team. That’s 2 yrs in a row that early season coaching blew them up.

    John Cummings

    @J17 Reality….the coaching staff SUCKED for the first 8 games. No team wins 8 of 9 following a 7 game losing streak unless coaches took too long to react and solve issues. In fact…..to me….that’s a total lack of solid coaching. Perhaps Flores resisted changes too long. Perhaps his staff failed him. Hard to say unless you saw from the inside what was going on…..but they failed to win a game for 2 months and then basically played playoff football the entire season. That’s a definite coaching issue.

    kgibbsiam

    @J17 how do you know that a good OC would come put his career on the line with Tua ? The general consensus is that Tua probably is not a playoff QB

    rawr228jk

    @Feta Manu gesicki also commented on Tuas Instagram post saying they throwing the ball 40 times a game next year… I think we’re gonna see a happier team next year and it’s gonna show!

    Faydene Reed

    But he was abusive to Tua called him names said he was lazy! Flores should be fired he didn’t get along with people he did not like and the head office had issues with him also! He thought he was the big boss man!

Jack Daniels

The best thing you did as an owner was hire Flores. The worst thing was letting him go. Sell the team!

RCPGivens

We will never win with this instability.

John Cummings

Ross makes…here…a horrible statement which completely dictates UNCERTAINTY in regards to Tua and the fans of this organization. As a 50 year Dolphin fan….I am sickened by his inability to be transparent with the fans regarding this coaching change. I’ve personally questioned Flores’ inability to win early in the season. Certainly this team was better than a 1-7 start. In that regard….why not let your fans know that Flo’s poor starts ultimately lead to his firing today?? Or is it something else?? Dolphin fans deserve to know who was behind the Tua draft pick and who wanted someone else. I have yet to hear anyone in management or ownership stand behind Tua. This team won 8 of their last 9 games. I assure you that they’d better get a VERY MEANINGFUL replacement for Flores because to flutter in the wind will exhaust not only the fan base but the team as well. Harbaugh has to be on the agenda…..it only makes sense. Ross is over 80 years old and Dolphin fans are feeling old as well…..WE DESERVE RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One other thing…… whomever they need to keep to assure these defensive blitz packages remain better be retained……this defense is gifted as are the schemes they use to be effective. The new coach needs to stick with the scheme……. defense was NOT the reason this team missed the playoffs.

Stephen Ross is probably the worst thing that’s happened to the Dolphins and I’ve been following since before he bought them.

    Old Man Bacala

    I hate the Guy.

    thespaceram2

    Ross acts like a dope. That he even has the facial expression of one. I can’t even take this guy seriously.

Caleb R

Browns fan here. I don’t know what this walking corpse was thinking, but firing Flores definitely wasn’t the right move. I have absolutely no idea why this move was made

    SLYRED GAMING , GRAPHICS & MUSIC

    Well Caleb the number one thing for firing Flo was missing the playoff 3 years in a roll and he could not get along with players and the head office.

    Reclaim America

    We are the Browns of the last 22 years now. The Miami Browns. Meanwhile the Browns are a franchise finally on the upswing.

itzlegion123

We need Stephen Ross to Sell the team or croak before we have a Franchise worth talking about

    Wise Wolf Tony

    croak won’t solve anything as I’m sure a family member would just take over as owner and the apple never falls far from the tree.

    Kelz Supreme

    Lol, say sell the team not croak.

    Old Man Bacala

    @Kelz Supreme He’s 81

    Steelworking

    Agreed

Matt Elisara

Coach with head coaching experience with a proven winning record is a MUST!

Angel Delcourt

Stephen Ross is the problem. As an owner, he is never there, doesnt live there. The front office is another or the main problem. They conspired against this man. Shameful.

    Andrew Achal

    I agree Ross is a joke also! The fact he even said he won’t be the one to take harbaugh from Michigan tells me a lot

    thespaceram2

    @Andrew Achal He has even passed on Harbaugh twice before. I don’t think Harbaugh even wants to coach for him.

The Touchdown With Doug Smith

This is one of the worst moments in dolphins history, this really hurt me down to my core

    Rick Million

    Bruh it was the best move!! B flo and tua gotta go man!

    Andrew Achal

    @Rick Million I only agree if tua is gone I need tua gone!!

    Drexsin

    @Andrew Achal you realize we ain’t getting Watson. So no Tua doesn’t need to go as of right now.. relax.

    Andrew Achal

    @Drexsin doesn’t have to be Watson… there’s Wilson also

    SLYRED GAMING , GRAPHICS & MUSIC

    Come on Doug??? One of the worst moments in Dolphin history. The man couldn’t get it done. He never got a good O-line, they couldn’t get a running game until the end of the year, the wide receivers couldn’t stay healthy, 3 play-callers for the offense. He couldn’t even get the defense working right until the 8th game of the season. I’m not blaming Flow for everything but if he fixed the O-line it would have been a different season altogether. I’m sure Chris Grier was a big part of why Flo was so stressed and couldn’t get things done for the team, and if I had my way Grier would be gone too and I don’t care how many great draft picks he got. The whole Deshaun Watson debacle was an unneeded joke. Flo’s biggest problem was his coaching staff. There was no experience on the coaching staff and offensive coordinator junk was very unprofessional. He got his chance as a head coach and I’m sure he will get another chance in the NFL.

WOPMasterG

Never in my 30 years of being a fan, have I HATED a decision so much. Ross – get your head out of your office and be PRESENT.

I hope you understand how rare it is to find a coach whose players will FIGHT for him when all the chips are down. You had one in Flores. I hope your realize that. Wake up Ross.

    Soflo Sports

    WOPMasterG I’m not gonna sit here and act like a personally know everything that goes on behind the scenes but I do listen to a lot of beat writers that are in the building everyday coming out and saying that Flo had an ego and was beginning to lose the locker room and the front office in general 🤷‍♂️ Ross just wanted to get ahead of the curve instead of firing him mid season next year.

    Gil Jr

    @WOPMasterG ogbah didn’t like him?

    WOPMasterG

    @Gil Jr – This is news to me too. Sadly we may never know.

    Steelworking

    Ross needs to go.

    IGOTGAME NJ

    X …FLO is the one that fought to get him paid to end the holdout

Google User

The Best thing Seven Ross can do for the Dolphins is…. SELL THE TEAM!!!!!

    you_have_aids

    he needs to

    Michael Randle

    Exactly!

Larry Meyer

I love Tua he is a great team leader and getting better!! He is keeper!!!! I hope we get a coach to move us in the Playoffs at the very least!!!! Go Phins!!!!

    Wise Wolf Tony

    Umm they aren’t gonna keep Tua. People should really look up why the main reason it is the Dolphins fired Flores. And that is because he liked Tua as the QB and didn’t want to bring in Watson while the Owner Ross wan’ts Watson so he fired Flores.

    Old Man Bacala

    Tua can’t throw a wet ball or play in cold Weather.

    Thieves

    @gg faith go root for the Jaguars Bc the dolphins don’t want you

Andrew Jones

This man is 81 years old. Only good @ get the team involved with the local community and renovating the stadium. Knows nothing getting good quality personnel to run a team. Put in your retirement papers and go enjoy your remaining days on earth with your family

    57868chris

    Bingo! This guy gets it.

    Noah Fernandes

    So what? Just Bc he’s old doesn’t mean he can’t own a nfl team. Stop being a ageist.

    Andrew Jones

    @Noah Fernandes your obviously not a dolphins fan and don’t anything about the team. If you were? You would understand my post. Stop acting like tough guy hiding behind your keyboard and calling me names. You don’t know me like that son.

albert albertd6561
