On Monday, the Miami Dolphins announced their decision to fire head coach Brian Flores, after he spent three seasons on the job.

Flores’s head coaching stint wasn’t all that unsuccessful, as he compiled 24-25 record and had two winning seasons while in Miami. However, the failure to make the playoffs and lack of consistency both on and off the field prompted the owner Stephen Ross to set a new course for the franchise.

The 2021 season particularly was the perfect display of inconsistency for the Dolphins. They started the season with a win that was followed by a seven-game losing streak. The team then bounced back with a seven-game winning streak that rekindled their hopes of having a successful campaign. However, a loss in the deciding Week 18 game against the Tennessee Titans meant their postseason drought was extended to five seasons.

“I’ve been looking at this over three years now and watching the organization grow,” Ross explained his decision. “And I think an organization can only function if it’s collaborative, and it works well together. And I don’t think that we were really working well as an organization that it would take to really win consistently at the NFL level.”

Despite his shortcomings in Miami, Brian Flores will reportedly have a lot of suitors among other head coach-needy teams. As of now, the list includes the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, and potentially the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Dolphins, on the other hand, are expected to pursue an experienced coach with a clear vision. Michigan coach Jim Harbaug is considered the favorite for the position, although Ross downplayed the franchise’s interest in him.

After winning Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, Brian Flores took the next step in his career, moving from the Patriots to become the Dolphins’ next head coach.

Miami fired head coach Adam Gase at the conclusion of the NFL season after an underwhelming 7-9 season. The Dolphins’ new head coach comes from a longtime division rival that they are aiming to dethrone in the coming years.

Flores spent 15 years with the Patriots before making the move to Miami. He started out as a scout, then worked his way up the coaching ranks to become the Patriots’ linebackers coach and defensive playcaller in the 2016 season.

The Dolphins’ new head man, who is only 37 years old, played linebacker for Boston College from 1999 to 2003. He is a native of Brooklyn, New York.

The Miami franchise has been in a rut lately, only qualifying once for the playoffs in the past 10 seasons. Flores might have to wait to qualify again with Miami, as the franchise has openly acknowledged that they are entering a rebuilding phase.

Flores’s contract guarantees 5 years at the helm of the Dolphins, and they hope that he’ll be the man to reinvigorate a long-dormant franchise.
