MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins fans should be hopeful, and maybe even optimistic, that Brian Flores will guide their team to greener pastures.
Flores arrives in Miami riding the high of a Super Bowl victory. Even though it's considered Bill Belichick's defense, Flores was the defensive playcaller of a four-hour coaching masterpiece as the New England Patriots held the Los Angeles Rams -- who scored 543 points in the regular season -- to three points. It was a brilliant display and a great springboard into a being a head coach.
Of course, the Dolphins aren't the Patriots.
