The biggest shock of so-called Black Monday in the NFL in 2022? Among the coaches fired after Week 18 was … Brian Flores.
Yes, the same Brian Flores who led the Miami Dolphins to a 9-8 record this season, despite the fact that the team started out at 1-7. The same coach who surprised the NFL with a 10-6 record last season.
The NFL world was shocked, and that didn’t stop with fans on Twitter. Multiple Dolphins players either tweeted directly about Flores or seemed to imply they were shocked at the firing. Here’s a roundup of what we’ve seen so far on Monday from Fins players:
Can’t thank Coach Flo enough for taking a chance on me. Changed my life forever. 🤟🏼
