Brian Flores

You're a worse troll than Benny Lava, if that's even possible .

 

I'm "Johnny come lately" on this topic.
But it's a very good hire and it supports the promotion with Austin.
Sometimes Head Coaching isn't what some coaches do well.
I think of Norv Turner and Wade Phillips, neither was good at the Head Coach spot but were very good with their respective units.
Flores kind of tainted himself, right or wrong, but he should be coaching regardless.
He should be a good fit here.

 

I think he might have a bigger role than just being a LB coach, with his coaching experience he could be involved in the game planning.

 

Love what he did against the Ravens and Jackson this year. They basically played cover zero and dared jackson to beat them with his arm, jackson couldn’t.

 

You can't think to have an argument.

Are you saying that Brian Flores is a liar?

Brian Flores legally alleged that the Dolphins owner wanted Tom Brady not Tua.

Thought? One thought? Anyone home?

 

If he doesn't get charged, I doubt he would get a one year suspension.

 

THIS IS TOMLIN'S DEFENSE. HE WILL CALL IT AS HE SEES FIT.

Wow. Some people just can not form a rational thought.

 

I referenced that game earlier in the thread, that was a great game plan, Flores is known for creating good blitz packages.

 

I don't care who calls the defense, as long as they improve in certain areas.

 

Exactly. This is the level of your intellect.

10/18 coaches listed on the Steelers website are black. That is 4x what is proportional to the number of black men in America.

Is "diversity" when 18/18 are black? No hispanics, no Asians, no whites?

People like you and FormerScribe have turned football into The View. You sound like a gaggle of fat women.

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

It's the doldrums of the offseason.
A good topic turns into an embarrassingly bad thread.
Shame.

I like the mention of how Flores Defenses smothered Lamar... that was the thing I had been screaming about all season long. Keep him in the pocket, make him throw and catch it when he throws it to you, and he will do so a few times.

 

Someone else pointed this out earlier.

I think what you mean is he would have to stay with the Steelers for atleast 2 years in order to get the 3rd round picks.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a good hire for our defense.

 

22 coaches have won a playoff game since the 2016 season.

Tomlin and Flores have a combined 0 playoff wins in that time period.

How are coaches who do not win playoff games better than coaches who do win playoff games?

 

Keep digging I guess?

 

I don't think it is a good hire. The reason NFL teams avoid hires like this is the distractions they raise. The cost can not outweigh the benefit.

How important is the LB coach? Why did Flores only have 1 Pro Bowl appearance for a LB in the past 6 seasons? (Donta Hightower in 2016 with the Pats.) Why is no one talking about Flores driving off Minkah, Van Noy, Flowers etc.? Why is no one talking about the carousel of coaches the Dolphins went through?

When you add in Flores' toxic personality and his inability to collaborate with both his players and staff (seriously why is no one talking about this?!!!) it's a terrible hire.

The Steelers have been burned by toxic personalities recently, and even players like Bell who weren't even toxic just egotistical. Keep doing the same thing? Expect different results?

Can someone explain why our LB coach targeting Goodell, Brady, the Dolphins, John Elway, the Broncos etc. in a lawsuit is a benefit to the Steelers? How is this not going to be mentioned weekly in sports media? The Steeler players can not manage social media as is and now reporters will ask them dozens of questions about race and justice they will feel impelled to answer as young black men. NoT a DisTraCtIoN aT AlL.

Oh and is this "goodbye, Minkah"? He probably hates being used as a 2 high safety as is. In Tomlin's defense he is rarely used at the line or in robber in comparison to other teams. Now he is reunited with a coach he fled... in a contract year. Is Minkah going to stay with a 7 win Steeler team with a coaching philosophy that underutilizes him? Maybe.

 

Hmmm, this could help in that regard.

 

I'm not worried what the racial makeup is of the Steelers coaching staff, obviously you are since you took the time to look it up .

 

Yeah, it's definitely me bringing it up and not our new position coach who just created arguably the biggest **** storm in league history, and has accused the NFL of being systemically racist. It's me, the nobody on an internet forum addressing the allegations in a lawsuit targeting some of the most important people in NFL history.

 

Flores isn't a coordinator, so he won't be talking to the media during the season, not a distraction at all.
