New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores was officially hired as head coach of the Miami Dolphins on Monday.
"Two things that stand out immediately when you meet Brian are his football intelligence and leadership skills," Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said. "Brian is widely respected throughout the NFL. He paid his dues in New England working in personnel, on offense, defense and special teams, which helped him build a great understanding of what it takes to win."
Flores, New England's defensive play-caller, helped shut down the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday.
