In it, Flores claims Dolphins owner Stephen Ross attempted to incentivize him to "tank" or purposely lose games shortly after he was hired in 2019, with Ross allegedly offering Flores $100,000 for every game the team lost that season. Flores says that as the team won games late in the season, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier told him Ross was "mad" that Flores' on-field success was "compromising [the team's] draft position."


Additionally, Flores claims Ross pressured him into recruiting a "prominent quarterback" at the end of the 2019 season, which Flores refused so as not to violate the NFL's rules on tampering. Ross then allegedly invited Flores onto a yacht for lunch in the winter of 2020, where he informed Flores that the "prominent quarterback" was "conveniently" arriving at the marina for an impromptu meeting.

Flores again refused the meeting and left the yacht. Afterward, Flores claims he was "treated with disdain and held out as someone who was noncompliant and difficult to work with."

He was eventually fired on Jan. 10, 2022, despite recording the franchise's first back-to-back winning seasons since 2003 (10-6 in 2021; 9-8 in 2021).







The last time the dolphins had back to back winning seasons was 20 years ago. I doubt there’s merit with the giants and Broncos but the dolphins appear to have fired him for following the nfl bylaws and not losing games on purpose. Now they can fire and hire whoever they want but they can’t claim it had anything to do with on the field results.
