He had a power struggle there no doubt. If rumors are true, he correctly wanted to draft Love instead of Tua.

[quote=Hellbound post_id=1262812]I don't get the infatuation with Flores. He bombed in Miami and more importantly, everyone bitches about the Patriot way conveniently ignores the tree he's from[/quote]Yea Flores would be another awful hire.

I still want an offensive minded coach, but nobody can argue with the results that Flores has had with the Vikings. He took over a D that was ranked 24th in the league. They also lost their best player on defense in free agency last season in Hunter. The guy has gotten results. Whether anyone likes him or not, he has that unit playing exceptional. I am not going to take him off the board or crucify him because Josh McDouche was such a bad hire. That is what stupid teams do....never mind.

[quote=Hellbound post_id=1262814]What happens if Johnson turns your offer down? Just because you're offering him the keys to the kingdom doesn't mean he's interested[/quote]At least we could say we made him an offer.

Liam Coen for me, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up a better head coach than Ben Johnson.

Pair him with a DC who was a failed HC recently. Eberflus For example.

Coen also played quarterback at UMass from 2004 to 2008 where he was a four-year starter, wearing the jersey number 12 in honor of his favorite athlete, Tom Brady

I do think the Pierce hiring is a good piece of evidence just to wait until after the season to fire coaches. Interims pretty much always fail as the full time hire but if they have some success that year after the firing it can be tough to go a different direction.

Why do people ignore he's a Belichick disciple and say they don't want the Patriotcway etc, yet bring up Flores name?

Pick a coach who can evaluate QBs based off more than picking the one who is more mobile.

Pick a coach that can do the whole job: Motivate players... understands X's and O's/schemes.. be a disciplinarian when needed.... make half time adjustments...etc...

[quote=Be_Easy_25 post_id=1262853]Pick a coach who can evaluate QBs based off more than picking the one who is more mobile.[/quote]We have a GM who has a very good record of evaluating and drafting players in 1st 3-rounds. The job of a coach is to coach the team and manage the game.

He had success with the Dolphins but beefed with management. The Phins had winning records in his final 2 years. This is a far cry from McDouche and his results are in a different stratosphere when compared to him. Flores has been nothing short of exceptional with the Vikings. Again, I prefer an offensive minded coach. However, to negate what this guy has done or comparing him to McDouche (apples and oranges) is silly.

Best guy with best vision.
Can be either offense or defense.

After this game you know his name will be bantered about.
