When it was announced that Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase would be fired, owner Stephen Ross confused many in the press conference when he claimed it was because Gase wanted to win now. It was poorly worded by Ross at the time, but the indication soon became clear that the Dolphins are in need of a rebuild, and that wasn’t going to be something that Gase would be interested in entering a fourth year.
On Monday, the Dolphins made it official by announcing Brian Flores as the next head coach. Of the eight new head coaches hired this year, Flores was the only one to receive the full five years of his contract guaranteed.
