No way Kwesi made this hire without KOC signing off on it. Also, I am sure his dealings with Dolphins players were addressed in his interview. KOC is all about the team's culture and I am sure he and Flores discussed this.@"Wetlander" said:
You can't fire Zimmer for the reasons given and then hire a guy with a reputation for being even more abrasive. I think this was more of a Kwesi move than a KOC move.@"JR44" said:
Pretty hypocritical of the organization to get rid of Zimmer and RS cause of relationship issues and then you hire a guy who is the most abusive coach in the league. Total BS. Most abusive coach? Maybe I missed something, but I was under the impression the reason he was fired was cuz he blew the whistle on the Dolphins FO for tanking (and they were mad he started winning with their shitty roster that year) and didn't get along with Tua?
Dude can coach and has a fiery personality. Doubt KOC would hire the guy if he didn't think he was a culture fit.

“There were plenty of players who liked and admired Flores, and let’s be clear about that. But his arrogance and bristling personality rubbed some the wrong way. A close associate of multiple young Dolphins said the players complained to him that ‘he doesn’t understand dealing with men. He’s not approachable.’ When Flores saw one young player in recent months, he told him: ‘Don’t come to my office talking about playing time.’ The player had no such intentions. But multiple sources said he treated players different ways; a veteran such as Jason McCourty wouldn’t be treated with that same heavy hand. ‘He was stern with some but joked around with some guys,’ the source said. ‘It was hard to read him.'”
