Earlier on Monday morning, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made an appearance on The Dan LeBatard with Stugotz and spoke on former head coach and current Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, insinuating that he is a terrible person.
"To put it in simplest terms, if you woke up every morning and I told you, you suck at what you did, that you don't belong, that you shouldn't be here, that this guy should be here, that you haven't earned this right, and that you have somebody else come in and tell you, dude, you are the best fit for this. Like, you are accurate. You are the best. Whatever you are this, you are that. Like, how would it make you feel listening to one or the other, you see what I'm saying, and then you hear it. You hear it regardless of what it is, the good or the bad. And you hear it more and more. You start to actually believe that.
"I don't care who you are, you can be the President of the United States. You have a terrible person that's telling you things that you don't want to hear that, that you probably shouldn't be hearing. You're going to start to believe that about yourself. And so that's sort of like, what, what ended up happening. And it was, I mean, it's been two years of training that out of not just me, but you know, a couple of the guys as well that have you're here since my rookie year, all the way come out."
Those comments are brutal toward Flores and it continues to paint a poor picture of his three-year tenure as the Dolphins head coach. It does appear that Flores has learned a thing or two since he left the Dolphins. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell was asked about those comments and made the smart play by only speaking of his experiences.
"I don't particularly have a comment on, you know, something that took place with another team, or I don't like to comment on, you know, comments of other players on other teams, but I can just tell you I know the players Flo(res) works with. He's got great relationships. He really has I know you guys have heard a lot of them talk about how much they enjoy playing for him, and how much I enjoy working with him every day. And that's all you know. That's all I can really comment on. And I just like to leave with that."
It's not a surprise that O'Connell did the smart thing by keeping a low profile with this story. Flores is scheduled to speak to the media on Tuesday and we will likely get some sort of comment.
