I think the interesting thing with Brian Flores, when I think about him and being able to play under him for a few years, is which version of Brian Flores are we getting?

And in year one,

With Miami, take you back to that year.

I mean, Miami got rid of every good player they had.

And that was the jokingly called the tank for two a year.

But I'll tell you, halfway through that year, we didn't win a game yet.

And there was a shift in the way that he was approaching his job.

He was likable.

He was relatable.

He demanded a lot out of the players.

But he was also able to get the best version.

of his players, and I really appreciated him for that.

But as his tenure went on in Miami, he kind of became unrecognizable.

A lot of the staff he brought over from New England, that was where he cut his teeth in the NFL, was there for 15 plus years as an assistant.

But I think he's going to have a really hard time

If you're interviewing him as a head coach, I think in the interviews he'll be likable, he'll be relatable.

But when people say, okay, give me somebody from Miami that coached under you as a reference so we can talk to them.

I think he burned a lot of bridges there.

I think he alienated himself from the entire staff.

instead of what you were just talking about, having the humility to ask questions, to collaborate.
