???
WOW  
Jim in Forest Hills : 1/10/2022 9:30 am : link
THANK YOU MIAMI

No way Mara can keep Judge now
Maybe Ross  
JB_in_DC : 1/10/2022 9:30 am : link
bringing in Harbaugh?
I think this is a bad move by Miami  
dpinzow : 1/10/2022 9:31 am : link
unless they have Harbaugh already signed to a deal
Wait  
BigBlueJ : 1/10/2022 9:31 am : link
What???
Apparently he lost the locker room  
Mike in NY : 1/10/2022 9:31 am : link
Too "old school" and Minkah Fitzpatrick last year was the tip of the iceberg
This guy seemed pretty good to me.  
St. Jimmy : 1/10/2022 9:32 am : link
I would like if the Giants hired him.
NO WAY  
BigBlueJ : 1/10/2022 9:32 am : link
Flores can GO and we KEEP Joe fucking Judge.
...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/10/2022 9:32 am : link
Wow. I didn't see that coming.
someone mentioned that the other day  
ryanmkeane : 1/10/2022 9:32 am : link
as one to keep an eye on...man that's shocking

No evidence of that the way they played down the stretch. They went 8-1 after starting 1-7. I think the Miami owner is going for Harbaugh
back to back  
pjcas18 : 1/10/2022 9:32 am : link
winning seasons in Miami for the first time in almost 2 decades and he gets fired?

I wonder if there is more to the story than just simple on-field results.
He is a better coach than Judge by a long shot  
Mike from Ohio : 1/10/2022 9:33 am : link
That seems like a coach who got everything he could out of a middling roster.
he Phins will be a HUGE  
jvm52106 : 1/10/2022 9:33 am : link
landing spot for someone, especially if they trade for Watson!
WTF?  
jeff57 : 1/10/2022 9:33 am : link
He had two winning seasons.
Can we swap Judge  
ajr2456 : 1/10/2022 9:33 am : link
For Flores?
Take over a 5-11 team  
Big Rick in FL : 1/10/2022 9:33 am : link
Go 19-14 in your first two years with a QB who can't stay healthy. Get fired. I'd be happy ake him as a HC for sure.
so stupid  
nygiants16 : 1/10/2022 9:33 am : link
team obviously fought for him starting 1-7 and finishing with a winning record..

I made a post the other day that "playing hard for your coach is just a myth that players sometimes play hard for themselves and are competitors.
I don't find any of these NE guys  
JonC : 1/10/2022 9:35 am : link
as exceptional head coaches.
Stephen Ross loves Harbaugh  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/10/2022 9:35 am : link
but this is shocking.
Another example of a minority coach  
90.Cal : 1/10/2022 9:35 am : link
Getting an unfair shake IMO
I'd take Flores as a coach  
Bear vs Shark : 1/10/2022 9:35 am : link
While Harbaugh is the dream candidate, having a coach like Flores shake loose can only help the Giants, as it presents more options for the new GM.
I think Flores is an excellent coach  
bigbluescot : 1/10/2022 9:35 am : link
who did a lot of things right. I reckon he'll get a shot this year, certainly at DC.
Yet another former Belichick assistant fired  
GFAN52 : 1/10/2022 9:36 am : link
As head coach. That coaching tree is wilted.

Ok, let's not delve there. The Phins started out 1-7 in a year they were expected to compete for the Division Title. But, I think there was some head bumping behind the scenes.

I can see Flores head to Minnesota, Houston or Denver.
Lost a power struggle with GM Grier  
jeff57 : 1/10/2022 9:37 am : link
According to Rapaport.

Sorry, I got my year incorrect. I did see chatter that the team had tuned Flores out and were playing for the pride of winning and not for the head coach and Fitzpatrick was brought up.
People now making this a racial issue  
shadow_spinner0 : 1/10/2022 9:37 am : link
you know what, this firing makes no sense that there might be something to it
We are going to have a lot of competition  
Ike#88 : 1/10/2022 9:38 am : link
for our new GM and hopefully coach.

Could see that, I don't think Flores was ever really on board with the Tua decision and it's spiralled a bit since then.
before calling it stupid  
UConn4523 : 1/10/2022 9:39 am : link
you might want to wait to hear why. May not have been related to the on field product.
Steven Ross is in his 80s and wants a super bowl team before he passes  
Ten Ton Hammer : 1/10/2022 9:40 am : link
.
Could this be that...  
bw in dc : 1/10/2022 9:40 am : link
Ownership really wants Watson and Flores doesn't.
I never expected that.  
Victor in CT : 1/10/2022 9:41 am : link
JonC has a good point about the BB tree, but I thought Flores did a good job there.

Why doesn't it make sense? You have absolutely no clue why he was fired but somehow are good with the race card?

A bad job the first 8 games, but then they stormed back.

Mixed results.

yeah it must be race. Of course not being on the same page when it comes to building the team has zero impact on the decision. Go right to race...

The only flawed logic there is they would not have hired the guy to begin with.
You know what Flores is ?  
Lines of Scrimmage : 1/10/2022 9:42 am : link
A winning NFL Head Coach. He will get another job as a HC.
Hire him now  
youngd1974 : 1/10/2022 9:42 am : link
He's a good coach.
Didn't see this  
Banks : 1/10/2022 9:42 am : link
They won 8 of the last 9 and smoked a Pats team trying to win the division. I'm curious what actually happened
You mean "Flo"  
Essex : 1/10/2022 9:44 am : link
who had it all worked out in year "3"
FYI Stephen Ross is a HUGE Michigan guy  
jvm52106 : 1/10/2022 9:45 am : link
and perhaps he offers the world to Harbaugh!
So reading on twitter  
shadow_spinner0 : 1/10/2022 9:46 am : link
his relationship with the GM and Tua deteriorated so losing important people contributed to his firing.
THAT is some crazy  
M.S. : 1/10/2022 9:47 am : link

shit right there.
twitter  
pjcas18 : 1/10/2022 9:47 am : link
speculation there was QB disagreement amongst Miami leadership

not sure if true, but something like that makes sense IMO.
Dolphins are not targeting Jim Harbaugh  
sphinx : 1/10/2022 9:47 am : link
Jeff Darlington
@JeffDarlington
While I realize many are assuming Flores’ departure is tied to Harbaugh’s potential availability, I can assure you that is not the case. The Dolphins are not targeting Jim Harbaugh, per sources. The decision to fire Flores is entirely independent.
Here is NYG's opportunity....
