Report: Dolphins to introduce Flores as head coach
New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores is expected to be introduced as head coach of the Miami Dolphins at a 4 p.m. ET press conference on Monday in Davie, Fla., according to multiple reports. Flores, New England's defensive play-caller, helped shut down the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. Flores won four Super Bowl rings as a member of the Patriots' coaching staff.
"The players did a great job of giving 'em different looks," Flores said in the victorious New England locker room on Sunday night. "We talked about stopping the run, we talked about limiting big plays ... defending the deep part of the field." Flores spent 11 seasons learning at the knee of Bill Belichick and was promoted in the 2018 offseason, when Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia was named head coach of the Detroit Lions. He turns 38 later this month.
Flores becomes the fourth permanent head coach of the Dolphins since 2008. He follows Adam Gase, who was fired only to be hired by another AFC East division team, the New York Jets. Per multiple reports, former New England assistant Patrick Graham (2009-15) and current receivers coach Chad O'Shea will join Flores with the Dolphins. Graham reportedly will become defensive coordinator and O'Shea will serve as offensive coordinator.
Graham was linebackers coach of the Green Bay Packers in 2018. O'Shea is finishing his 10th season with New England. --Field Level Media
