This Flores saga is going to swamp their reputation in coaching circles.

That’s not exactly a leap of faith there. He came up from under Shanahan. He’s going to be *a* version of Shanahan.
I just never heard of anybody anywhere clamoring for this guy.
But the Dolphins can’t hire anybody worth knowing because they’re toxic right now (and probably all the time). [Reply]

I’m certain that’s exactly what they said. Season tickets are still available, after all.
Edit: I mean what else are they going to say. “Our brand is so universally toxic that no coach with an actual reputation would agree to coach here, so we had to find the least horrible hire on paper that we could.” [Reply]

The idea with McDaniel is that he's supposed to get the most out of Tua Tagovailoa, but how is that supposed to happen when he failed to develop Jimmy Garoppolo during his five years in San Francisco? McDaniel didn't even call plays last year, so I don't see what this hire is supposed to accomplish besides prove that Ross is unbelievably bad at running an NFL organization.
That’s a weird criticism. What McDaniel can do is win in spite of Tua. He will make less mistakes than garrapalo. I think this is an inteiguing hire. He’s kind of nerdy, but so is shanahan. The social awkwardness works just fine for shanahan. But he seems like a brilliant football mind. [Reply]
