Everybody and their mother said the Dolphins were crazy for firing Flores and that they’d regret it. Just like how every broadcaster and coach kept telling us Darnold was actually good and that it was us. But head coaches seem to be a little like quarterbacks where you should probably keep taking shots until you find the guy.
Maybe Saleh is the guy but a 15-30 record after 45 games is abhorrent. Ending last season on a 6-game losing streak is hard to do for even a bad team and we’d currently be on a 5-game losing streak if not for a miracle giants collapse. Add the Browns miracle and 2 of the 15 wins were pure luck.
Saleh has helped build a dominant defense but if we hired a bright offensive mind like Ben Johnson would we not be better off? I even if we take a step back on that end, with Q, Sauce, Jermaine, Reed, Quincy and JFM we should still be top-10.
I get Rodgers went down but I’m tired of defensive head coaches and this historically awful offense just makes me want a bright offensive mind that doesn’t want to win 14-10.
It’s a rare an NFL coach survives a 6-game losing streak to end a season like Saleh did last year. 3 straight losing seasons? IDK if there is an example in modern football of a coach surviving that. I mean Mangini had winning records in 2 out of 3 seasons and was still let go. I think Saleh will be back though because Aaron Rodgers is the defacto GM.
