To go all the way back to the presser that Ross gave, he said that Flores was fired not for performance, but for relationships and his inability to cooperate within the building and organization. Read that as you will now that we have heard two sides of the story.
Miami leaked info that he was essentially the de facto GM and that he wanted Grier removed, he had conflict and confrontation with his staff and media, and he was difficult to work with. Omar Kelly said on Twitter (paraphrasing) he had never had anyone in his career treat him and members of the media the way Flores did. It was disrespectful.
Flores has now said that he believes he was fired because he wouldn’t agree to tamper or lose games, that’s why he was labeled “difficult” and hasn’t been hired in part due to systemic racism.
I was making the point that aside from all of that, there were still valid football reasons that Flores could/should be on the hot seat, but IMO should have been allowed to continue coaching.
