Read significance into this if you like, but it’s certainly interesting that the Dolphins’ first interview was with a lifelong Patriot.
New England assistant Brian Flores met with Stephen Ross and Chris Grier on Friday and explained to them why he would be a good fit as the Dolphins’ next head coach.
Flores has spent his entire coaching career with the Patriots, most recently as the team’s defensive play-caller.
Flores, 37, is a true success story, escaping the hardscrabble Brownsville area of Brooklyn to earn a scholarship to play linebacker at Boston College.
