It sounds like racism plus bribing?that is kinda shitty to interview for a job you know you aren't getting and it is just a tokenism process
but welcome to the real world, happens all the time....what a drama queen
lol @ the Belichick texts though, he might be losing it. No wonder he kicked a horrible weather 56 yard FG on 4th and 3 vs Tampa despite Mac having 18 straight completions at one point vs their entire secondary of backups.
It sounds like racism plus bribing?
He claims that the owner tried to pay him 100k for each loss down the stretch for a better draft spot?
Lol. That is awesome.Belichick: "Sounds like you have landed -- congrats!!!"
Flores: "Did you hear something I didn't hear?"
Belichick: "Giants!?!?!"
Flores: "I interview Thursday. I think I have a shot at it."
Belichick: "Got it - I hear from Buffalo and NYG that you are their guy. Hope it works out if you want it to!!
Flores: "That's definitely what I want! I hope you're right coach. Thank you."
Flores: "Coach, are you talking to Brian Flores or Brian Daboll. Just making sure."
Belichick: "Sorry - I f---d this up. I double checked and misread the text. I think they are naming Daboll. I'm sorry about that. BB
Flores: "Thanks Bill."
I do recall the start of that season the Dolphins were hideous and everywhere you read they were tanking and expected to go 0-16. They traded away their young talented players for draft picks. But Flores inspired that scrub team and were deemed competitive and played with fire. But it was called "Tanking for Tua" as he was more heralded than Herbert at that time.Ross probably on his boat, had a few drinks, saying something in an informal tone/joking that he wants to happen. We've all been there.
Doubt he was legitimately like "Ok here it is, we need the #1 pick for Burrow and 100k per loss once we get it. That is the plan for our organization this season. Make it happen." Guy is worth 5 billion or so, probably ain't that dumb
Ooops I've erroneously texted the wrong Mike, I know 10 of them! But nothing bad or this funny.Belichick: "Sounds like you have landed -- congrats!!!"

Couldn't agree more. Guy coached his ass off for a shitty team. The team was in so much better shape when he left there , then when he took over. And that's with management pretty much tanking.Not a bad theory. I certainly never thought he would ever play the racecard. Seemed like a legitimate very good coach and would be around for many years.
