head-coaching vacancies, two
weeks and a day after the regular season ended Brian
Flores reportedly will interview for the Cardinals
coaching. Vacancy
today. We talked about this last week even before Monty
Austin, Ford a former Patriots executive was hired to be
the new Cardinals GM.
There were signs pointing possibility of Flores coaching
the Cardinals. Number one, he's the exact opposite of Kliff
Kingsbury and coaching style which is what teams tend to do.
When one guy doesn't work, they
Find somebody personality-wise scheme, wise, everything,
the exact opposite and there is real benefit
to the league, to the Cardinals, to the Dolphins, to everybody
to putting Brian Flores back in a head coaching job, given that
Landmark racial discrimination lawsuit. He filed, February 1
of last year. It's still pending on the question of
whether or not it's going to go to the NFL's. In-house
arbitration process, IE secret, rig, kangaroo court, or it's
going to stay in open court, the the Cardinals help
themselves.
And the league by giving Brian Flores the opportunity and
frankly that shouldn't matter
because he very well might be the best person for the job.
Yeah, that's right. That's that's that's to me. The point
like you said, all the other things yeah. It's convenient
for the league and
everything else but either way,
he should be a head coach in the NFL.
I mean, plain and simple when we saw what he did with
the dolphins, he changed things around,
right? I don't even think he got to really kind of
get things the way he wanted to.
To with the Miami Dolphins
and you're right. He's a total total opposite of kind of what
they had their where it seemed a little bit more fly by
the seat of your pants.
I can tell you, none of that will be going down with Brian
Flores. It'll be detailed throughout. And again I think
the magic the Brian flourish can bring their to with you
know the the GM
situation is they can get on the same page as far as
building a team the right way and they'll be a true vision
and All processed and how to attack that. So
it makes a lot of sense, you know, they got some talented,
guys, on defense, they need a few players up front but he can
play with that group there. And then
I think he can get at least the offense going in the right
direction. As far as the way, the type of football. He wants
to play, which I think is going to be a little bit more
balanced than not necessarily Kyler Murray in the shotgun,
every pie throwing the
ball.
What are those clichés like pressures pressure makes
diamonds or some crap? Like that, I mean this is a pressure
cooker. They're going to turn calamari into a diamond or he's
going to disintegrate. They because they need this. They
need somebody who will Coach, Kyler Murray aggressively
coach em, hard coach him into the best possible version of
himself. He can be and if he can't take it, then you move
on. You just move on.
So we saw that with Brian Flores and to otago by Hello
and I'm sure Flores learned a few things, maybe he was
a little too hard on to, I don't know.
He gets a much more physically gifted talent and calamari one
scholar Murray's healthy if he becomes a Cardinals coach but
Chris there are a lot of reasons for this higher to be
made assuming the interview. Well yeah those well that's
right. And
and here's the other side of the here's the other side of
the coin to
if you're Michael Bidwell and you give Brian Flores and
interview and you don't hire him
you better hire somebody who is clearly better than Brian
Flores or you're getting a separate ticket to the Brian
Flores
lawsuit party. It's like the Texans did last year. Yeah,
he's met with the Texas did. He was Flores Jonathan Gannon and
Josh McCown is the three finalists
and then all of a sudden they go off the board for Lovie
Smith. Why'd they go off the board for Lovie Smith? Well,
because Flores was the best of the three they were.
Considering that would be the argument. Yeah. Flores was
the best of the three. They were considering. So we got to go
find some
Else. They find Lovie Smith and now they find themselves with
a lawsuit directly against them. Yeah. Claiming they retaliated
against Flores for the fact that he filed a lawsuit to
advance his employment rights under federal
law, right? So it's you you better be careful. Yeah. If
you're gonna dance with Flores because if you're going to hire
someone else, it better be Sean Payton.
And we've had to be somebody where you say, okay?
I understand why they didn't Harbor. I'm Flores and really
at this point the only one that would cause that reaction to
Sean Payton. Yeah. Well, you're right, you're right. But either
way, I mean
to me. It looks real Monty awesome for the new GM there.
He was in
New England. He knows what Brian Flores is made of. So,
I got to think there's real interest here, and not only
the results. Brian Blair has had as a head coach, but a
little bit of a prior knowledge and knowing the human being
where it makes a lot of sense. And I certainly wouldn't be
shocked with the GM who it is. A New England guy, a New
England head coach would make sense,
they seem to work best when it's like that.
I wouldn't be shocked. If Brian Flores is the new head coach of
the Arizona Cardinals.
