Back to back winning seasons weren’t enough to keep Flores in Miami.
The Miami Dolphins have been knocking on the doorstep of the playoffs the past two seasons under coach Brian Flores. After a 5-11 campaign in his first year in 2019, Miami has gone 19-14 since, just missing out on the Wild Card in the AFC in both seasons. Typically, that kind of improvement would see a coach get a fourth year, but on Monday, the Dolphins announced Flores was out in Miami.
