Josh McDaniels is one of 11 former Bill Belichick assistants who have tried their hand in an NFL head coaching role, and nearly all have produced underwhelming results.
The Flores one is interesting to me. He took over a pretty bad Dolphins team. He had one bad year with them then gave them their first back-to-back winning seasons ('20-'21) since '02-'03.
Everyone is anointing Mike McDaniel as some guru (which might be true) when he them the exact same 9-8 record they had the year before under Flores.
McDaniel is a good coach but Flores was a successful young coach by any measure and by no means deserved to be fired.
