The article says 18 years of experience. I am assuming he coached with another team too. Right?

Nope. He was a scout for NE 2004-07 before coaching. 

Only one year coaching assistant on O, and that was combo'd with STs. 

 

He played LB in college too

[RollerColt]

That was a huge mistake on the defense.

[holeymoley99]

This game is a laugher....over 300 yards vs 45......14 points.....it likely doesnt get closer.

[2006Coltsbestever]

21-7, bomb to Kelce.

From Wiki:

 

In 2004, at the age of 23, Flores joined the Patriots as a scouting assistant, the same year the franchise won its third Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXIX. He became a pro scout in 2006 before getting promoted to Bill Belichick's coaching staff in 2008, serving as a special teams coaching assistant until the end of the 2009 season. His title was changed to assistant coach offense/special teams in 2010. He was named defensive assistant in 2011

 

I think that is great experience for a head coach -- and he has been a head coach before. I would not mind him but I would prefer an OC. 

 

I like most of his resume. The fact he was never a coordinator though is typically a pre-req.

The one year on O really does nothing for me, especially if you look at NE's coaches on O at that time. 

I like the years scouting though.

Steelers only got in because we choked, they don’t deserve to be here.

 

The 7th seeds have been underwhelming. Titans glad they play only 1 of the Bills or Chiefs, lucky guys.

 

Bengals will be run over by Titans. They played scared vs Raiders. They’re too young to win more than one.

[Nesjan3]

My takeaway so far. Burrow looked amazing, Allen looked amazing, Brady looked amazing, Mahomes looks amazing. Jimmy G looked so so but they have a devastating pash rush. We need a great QB or pass rush to ever hope for a SB

Come on, 2006CBE. No wonder that Steelers fan is no longer posting here   I liked him.

I remember someone in the organization say you either need the QB or the pass rush.

Bengals have more talent then Tenn across the board, a lot of it young talent but a different level so a very interesting game.

Burrow looked OK, let’s see what he does vs Titans for me to believe in him

They and Zac Taylor played scared, not to lose.

[holeymoley99]

Steelers only got in because we chocked AND because Chargers called the worst time out in NFL history.....everyone knew Raiders were running out the clock to force the tie...everyone BUT Staley

And they didnt lose......so he got what he wanted

[Nesjan3]

Steelers and Eagles are the two worst teams to make the playoffs in recent history. Byproduct of more playoff teams being added

If Colts took care of business all 7 AFC teams would have been legit so adding the 7th team only hurts because who made it.....in theory isnt bad

I thought he coached well in Miami.

If they are doing an inter conference game for the 17th game, the best 2 teams across conferences should make in as the 7th team. I know we could have an AFC vs AFC team in the SB but it’s very unlikely, IMO

If not for that 7th spot we would have missed last year, and would have had to beat the Raiders, Jags plus needed help this year

[runthepost]

I don’t even think the 2016 Broncos defense could save the Steelers offense

[runthepost]

28 points in 10 minutes

Yet destroyed the 3 seed by 26 points....beat NFC semifinalist by double digits..just saying all 7 would have been legit

Next Gen had Big Ben ranking dead last in their QB metric.

 

The Steelers need a major rebuilding on offense..

I'm just not sure how to grade him at Miami lol.

They were either average or below average in just about every category. 

They had a really bad start this year, and a decent finish. But the majority of their wins were over bad teams. 

 

If I had to guess, Miami will go with offensive minded hire. Daboll (Buf's OC) is probably the best choice for them. He also coached Tua in college, which would be smart if Miami is sold on making it work with Tua. 

[chad72]

Isn’t that offensive pass interference if the OL guy is the receiver and slams the DE Watt?

Tua is a mess...doesnt seem like an NFL QB by any means....

[Fisticuffs111]

As a team who I feel like always plays up/down to their opponents, it’s a shame we weren’t in the playoffs.

 

Feel like we at least wouldn’t be getting demolished by these teams.

[Gramz]

I've seen enough.

 

I'm gonna pull a Tomlin and go to bed.

[Nesjan3]

night night steelers. Bill Chiefs will be a good one. Two best team on the AFC side IMO meeting in the divisional

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This game is nuts. Steelers not even trying. Such a shame they got in and not the colts or chargers.

[chad72]

This is embarrassing. Steelers fans probably happy Big Ben is retiring. Tom Brady wouldn’t wait around till his arm falls off, I’m sure. Peyton wasn’t going to push it and knew it was time. He didn’t drag it out.

Kind of sad they are meeting so soon. I hope Bengals destroy Titans.

We did it to ourselves but yeah, I’m confident we’d have at least made a game against whoever we faced.

[Nesjan3]

Titans or Bengals will probably get destroyed by the winner of Bills Chiefs

I liked Tua in college, but never thought he'd translate well to the NFL.

 

Not sure Miami is ready to move on though. 

 

I think Flores wanted Watson. Watson like Flores too. So Miami might want an O guy that will be committed to making Tua work. 

 

I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Texans hire Flores pretty fast, especially if they still want to keep Watson.

Spags playing stupid Cover 0 vs Burrow and Chase cost them the #1 seed.

Yeah. You never want to play a team you best in the regular season in the playoffs. This year has been abnormal

That Bills Chiefs game is the AFC championship.  I picked the Bills to make the SB before the playoffs.  Hopefully they can knock KC off

Arrowhead or Buffalo is a bad environment for a young qb in the playoffs

Is it true that his Dad trained him to play left handed even though he was right handed, just because his dad was a lefty? 
 

And yeah, if rumors are to be believed Flores definitely wanted Watson. Apparently they’re in communication trying to end up together.

I don't know. It seems most teams get their wins against bad teams and are about 500 or below against winning teams.
