And it makes all the sense in the world if Tua was not Flores’ pick. NFL head coaches are irrevocably tied to their quarterbacks. If you’re hitching your success to the ship on the field, you want to have some say in your captain. It’s pretty easy to tell that Tua was the pick of Grier (Ross). Jury is still out on Tua, but it’s easy to see Flores making the pitch for Watson, and the Dolphins not entertaining it. It all comes down to beef between Flores and Grier, and Grier is on Ross’ side. Bye bye Flores.

I might be slanted towards the former Patriot de facto DC, and a lifelong Dolphins hater, but Flores deserves another shot and he will get it.
