Brian Flores also inherited an underwhelming roster, but at least he’s been able to get something out his players.

Ignore the Dolphins’ 3-9 record for a second. Miami plays hard every week, which is a reflection on the culture Flores is establishing down there. The Dolphins have had every reason to mail it in this season, but they have fought and been relatively competitive after taking their lumps early in the season.

It’s not unreasonable to believe Flores will one day achieve some sort of success in Miami. It might take a while, but Flores has the traits of a coach that can win games and get the most out of his team. He just needs a little help from his front office.
