2022 coaching carousel

I think the Flores news is more great than not, outside of rooting against the Steelers interests. He made a hell of a point, neither winning his lawsuit nor catalyzing positive change are off the table, and his chances of being back in the head coaching conversation in short order are now back trending in the right direction. That he has to settle for such a visible demotion is shitty, but I'm glad he'll be in the league this year and I (as I imagine goes without saying for all of us here) will continue to root for the events of the past few weeks to be a difference maker.

I guess the mixture of genuine concern and, for others, concern trolling about Flores’ career being over was unfounded.

Well I am genuinely amazed that a team would hire someone who has a pending lawsuit against their business. But I like Flores and I have a level of admiration for the Rooneys so this is good. I hope the team loses every game 4-0.

He wasn’t the coach of the Broncos when they won. They dumped him for Gary Kubiak.

Yeah, that was my mistake. Duh.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Aside from hoping Pittsburgh sucks out loud, I’m happy he found a job and is still in the league. I genuinely thought he’d be blackballed.

With so many departures from the Patriots coaching staff, I'm disappointed that they did not get him.

Hard to say what the dynamic of BB and Flo's relationship might be these days.

The departures were primarily on offense. Plus, with Prince Nepo and Mayo "leading" the defense, what role would you envision for Flores?

While I'm a bit surprised (pleasantly) the Flores is back in the game so soon, we've no idea how this will all end.

Well he took a job as linebacker coach, so you could start there. But after his tenure as a head coach, I would think anything - offensive line, special teams - would have been possible. (Good line about Prince Nepo).

I was hoping the Pats would hire him and that Belichick would be disappointed when Brian Daboll didn’t show up.

Isn't his lawsuit still ongoing?

Almost spit my coffee on this - well done.
