    ******* man I've read some funny spin.. but that, THAT is amazing. Bravo. Top tier stupidity.

    He inherited a "second place team" is such a intentionally misleading way to describe it.
    Here's an article mid offseason about how the Dolphins were going full scale rebuild: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/05/dol...ts-draft-picks

    Now for your next point. A quarterback...UPGRADE??? Like really. You look at what Tannehill has done away from Miami, led the Titans to three straight playoff appearances and Call Ryan Fitzpatrick / Josh Rosen an UPGRADE? Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Adam Gase did good in 2016. And then proceeded to deteriorate goodwill and cratered the team. One the cusp? he went 6-10 and 7-9 his last two seasons. Including finishing 4-9 with an OT win and the only game winning multi lateral play in league history.

    He then proceeded to torpedo the Jets. It was clear he's not fit to be a HC. His schtick wore thin. Meanwhile Flores finished the year 8-1. No one wanted to see those healthy Dolphins in the playoffs.

    And for your last sentence, no one is saying his race got him fired. He's saying his unwillingness to tank games or skirt league rules got him fired. The Dolphins wanted him to court Brady while it was still tampering. That led to an icy relationship and departure. Miami just has shitty ownership and felt the need to fluff themselves after being panned by the media for firing a dubbed rising star like Flores after the finish the team had.

    The way they described his relationship with ownership is enough to ensure he'll most likely never get a HC again.

    The part where an issue of discrimination comes in is these faux interviews. The Broncos one sounds extremely egregious.

    And it's comical when you look at it. The rooney rule serves to help you make a better decision. Coaches know that you HAVE to go through this process. You gain no benefit in deciding to hire the first interviewee. You only serve to hurt yourself by not conducting all your required interviews. Is it shocking that the teams named as flubbing this process (Broncos, Giants) are already searching for a coach again?
    How is it misleading? He took a 2nd place team that went 7-9 & turned it into a last place 5-11 team. What?s misleading about it?

    In 2018, Ryan Tannehill only played in 11 games & had 1,900 yards passing after missing the entire 2017 season. Brock Osweiler started 5 games. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for over 3,500 yards in 2019 and was pretty solid his two years in Miami. There was an upgrade at QB from 2018 to 2019. My statement has nothing to do with what they?ve done in their careers, just those two seasons. Tannehill had a few injury plagued seasons at the end of his Dolphins career.

    Adam Gase went 6-10 in his second year & 7-9 in his third year. In 2017 Gase?s starting QB Ryan Tannehill missed the season because he injured his leg & he had to go with a declining Jay Cutler & Matt Moore as his QB?s. In fact Cutler retired after the 2017 season.

    I?m not saying Gase is a good coach. It?s obvious he?s out of his league, but Flores wasn?t much better & this is not even debatable. Coaches are judged on wins & losses. Gase was 23-25 & Flores was 24-25. Both were given 3 years.

    You?re being simple minded. Maybe they just thought, like with Gase, he wasn?t going to work out & wanted to go in a different direction? Maybe other teams had insider knowledge that he was a cancer? Which is pretty obvious at this point, correct?

    Although I disagree with what the Dolphins owner tried to get him to do, if true, you can?t think that it?s the only franchise or that he?s the only coach that?s been asked to do so. He?s simply the only coach who has snitched, which isn?t necessarily a terrible thing in this case, but is something he?ll have to live with the consequences for the rest of his life. There is a reason they say snitches get stitches, except in this case the snitches stitches will be that he will likely never coach another down in the NFL.

    The jokes on you!
