Should Phins fans be worried about the OC & playbook carousel?
Brian Flores is entering his third year as head coach of the Miami Dolphins with the potential to be one of the best Miami Dolphins head coaches in recent memory. This is a statement year in many ways for Flores and his Dolphins, who need to raise the level of success to turn that potential into a reality. While Flores has already shown plenty, taking another step forward this season will certify all the hope and belief Phins fans have in him.

Flores is proving himself year after year…
In his first two seasons, Flores outperformed expectations and has created a much quicker turnaround than expected. While some analysts were saying the 2019 team was headed for ‘worst NFL team eva‘, Flores coached up a gutted roster to 5 victories and an unbelievable victory in Foxborough Week 17. Last season, Flores guided the Phins to a surprise 10 win season just barely missing the playoffs. Online Sport Betting 101: What You Need To Know.
Both these overachieving seasons have fueled high expectations for 2021 with many feeling that missing the playoffs would be a disappointing season.
I have some concern for this season
As good as Flores has been, one particular thing that concerns me and that’s this turnstile offensive playbooks and offensive coordinators. Going into this season Flores is on his third Offensive coordinator, which technically because of this unconventional two Offensive Coordinator system is really his third and fourth OCs.
Chad O’Shea from New England was the first OC. Personally, I liked O’Shea and felt he brought some of that creative scheming Patriot way to the Offense. However, there were many reports that his Offense was too difficult to understand for many players, so Flores opted to go a different route with a more simplified Offense.
As a result he went with Chan Gailey, who personally I was never thrilled about… and even less thrill after he quit after his first season with the Dolphins. There were various reports that Gailey wasn’t a good fit for Tua’s skill set and that was why his play-calling became extremely vanilla whenever Tua was playing compared to Fitzpatrick. However, this offseason Tua recently admitted that he was not as comfortable with knowing the playbook as he would have liked, so this could definitely have been a reason for the more vanilla play calling when Tua was on the field.
Flores has since been promoted within by making George Godsey and Eric Studesville Co-Offensive Coordinators. So far, the reviews are that the offense is once again very complicated for the players to understand. So it appears at the moment we have done a full 360 and are in a similar situation of when O’Shea was the OC.
But, we must remember not all reports are accurate… unless they are from Phins News, of course.
Let’s see before we believe based on ‘reports’
I think these statements on players feeling the playbook is too complicated is hogwash. These players get paid millions of dollars a year to play a game that most men would love to play for free. You can bet with the pay per head services that their job is to study and memorize the playbook so they are prepared and execute on game day. Also having a more complex offense has the potential to be a more dangerous and potent offense, so this is just part of being better.
Also, we must remember, this isn’t from every player and we don’t know if this is even an accurate statement.
Much ado about nothing at this point, really.
On one positive note, Tua has been quizzed frequently on this new offense, and all reports are that he has been passing with flying colors. So, it’s clear he has been putting in the work and time and will be a lot more comfortable with the playbook this year compared to his rookie season. And if Tua has the playbook down pat, really that’s the most crucial news because he is the key to the future! How To Make Money in College Online.
Let a full season tell us what is what and not some whispers
Flores is the head coach, so the buck starts and stops with him in both success and failure. If the Dolphins struggle on offense this season it will point to a deeper issue of his ability to manage the offense. But, if it turns out to be a master-stroke move that gets Tua and the Miami Dolphins to new heights of success, then Phins fans will finally have found what they been waiting a long, long time for.
