It’s always something with the Miami Dolphins. They’re on a treadmill of mediocrity or they’re tanking for tomorrow or their tank was torched by a coach who won too much. That last one is the latest narrative put out by the fired coach himself, Brian Flores.
Flores alleges team owner Steve Ross offered him $100,000 for each loss in 2019 so the team could get the No. 1 draft pick. Flores won enough to get the fifth pick. Ross loudly refuted the game-fixing claim. Everyone’s lawyered up.
This is the cloud over the franchise, just as it once was Bullygate, and once was a cocaine-sniffing assistant coach. It always has been something during Ross’ tenure. But let’s be clear about Tankgate. It’s not why the Dolphins’ football future is in doubt now or during Flores’ time. Keep your eye on the ball here.
