This previous season, Miami finished 9-8, featuring a seven-game winning streak that came after a seven-game losing streak.
For the first time since the 2000 campaign, the Dolphins swept their rivals, defeating the New England Patriots 33–24 on Sunday to wrap up the season. Not everything was cleaned up: General Manager Chris Grier will stay on. Grier has spent the last three of his 22 years with the Dolphins managing all football operations, and the previous six as general manager.” The players and coaches deserve the credit,” said Flores following the Dolphins’ 33-24 victory over New England on Sunday, which completed the team’s first sweep of the Patriots since 2000. “I will always feel like there is more I could have done. And our guys—the coaches, the players, and our support staff, obviously—put in a lot of work. This is a unique group. I’m content and honored to be a part of it.
Flores, who spent 11 seasons with the Patriots organization, became the 13th head coach in franchise history.
The team’s eleventh coach since its last postseason triumph on December 30, 2000, will take over in Miami. That day’s coach was Dave Wannstedt; Jim Bates, Nick Saban, Cam Cameron, Tony Sparano, Todd Bowles, Joe Philbin, Dan Campbell, Adam Gase, and Flores were the coaches that came after.
Since Ross is the biggest donor in Michigan history and a graduate of the university, the Dolphins may consider Jim Harbaugh, the coach of the Wolverines, as a potential successor.
