This article sheds some light on the Brian Flores firing. Sounds like be didn't like Tua at all. If he gets the Chicago job it will be interesting to see how he gets along with Fields. Something to keep an eye on. https://nypost.com/2022/01/12/dolphins-brian-flores-and-tua-tagovailoa-had-blowup-before-firing/
Woody should take notes for his post-season press conference next year. He'll likely be saying the same things and Mara said them pretty well.
It's an interesting point that we're at. Mike Tomlin is the same age Bill Cowher was at when the Steelers forced him out. He's had about the same success as Cowher had and he's gone dry in the Super Bowl department. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Steelers kick Tomlin upstairs and hire Flores. It's their MO over the years since Chuck Noll - a great coach - taught them that staying with a great coach when he has gone dry is not successful. Noll, BTW, was 47 the last time he coached a Super Bowl winner. Also, Roethlisberger is retiring and they probably want the next coach on board with the next Steelers QB - a guy who is likely not on the roster yet but will be by 2023.
That’s the best available job, even if you don’t have a favorable opinion of Kirk. I know Kirk catches a lot of flack, but this season wasn’t really his fault. The Mike Zimmer lead defense let teams back into games they shouldn’t have all year long.
Watch the Steelers if they lose in the playoffs. They're due and they would instantly be the best job on the market.
Not like he was going to last, but they should’ve known they were going to can him and given him a shorter deal. Seems like Watson’s guy Flores is the prime candidate to take over and woo him back to the franchise and settle with all those women.
And you have the Pats ties with Caserio down there too.. Wouldn't shock me if they throw a blank check at Flores just to keep Watson. On other Flores news:
I read a blurb that Josh McDaniels cheated while HC of the Broncos. Hahaha. I'm sure some of it is skewed and off base but still funny as Hell. Once a Cheat always a Cheat.
Interesting . . . +++++ Texans interview former Steelers WR Hines Ward for head coaching job Published: Jan 15, 2022 at 05:30 PM Michael Baca Digital Content Producer The Houston Texans' search for their next head coach has entered former player territory.
