So...
Nagy, Flores, Zimmer.
Explain to me the Flores firing. What the hell is that about?
The GM traded up, passed on Herbert for Tua, and now you fire the coach? On back to back winning seasons with Tua and Fitzpatrick as QBs???

Re: Firings
My guess is that they have a coach in mind, like Harbaugh, that they want to go after.

Re: Firings
This will happen because the denial was issued. Also, Harbaugh put the NFL out there publicly. If he was using it as a $$$ ploy for Michigan, it risks scaring away recruits.bigdaddystuck wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 9:59 am My guess is that they have a coach in mind, like Harbaugh, that they want to go after.

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who is a huge benefactor at Michigan, has already said he's not going to hire Harbaugh. He said he doesn't want to be the person to take Harbaugh from Michigan and hopes he stays there.Redbird CC Fan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 11:06 amThis will happen because the denial was issued.

Pace and Spielman also out as GMs in Chicago and Minnesota. Gettleman retiring with the Giants though I'm guessing he may have been told he would be fired if he didn't retire.

Re: Firings
But if Harbaugh is putting it out there that he wants to return to the NFL, why wouldn't Ross then throw his offer out there?

Re: Firings
I have to believe the 2 worst job openings would be in Miami and the Texans. I know someone will take those jobs but I'd be surprised if they get the cream of the crop to go there. 1 year and you get fired? Back to back winning seasons and an 8 game winning streak and you get fired? BRUTAL!

Flores hamstrung the Dolphins pursing a trade for the Texans' Watson. Watch for this trade to happen now.

I'd expect the opposite to be honest. Reportedly Flores wanted Deshaun and the Dolphins GM didn't see it the same way.Redbird CC Fan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:01 am Flores hamstrung the Dolphins pursing a trade for the Texans' Watson. Watch for this trade to happen now.

Seems like Flores was a bit of an ***.

Re: Firings
I just saw on Twitter that Harbaugh would take the Raiders job if it was offered. Interesting.
