N/S For those That Wanted Brian Flores to be the Next Saints HC (1 Viewer)

He did want somebody else. He wanted to draft Justin Herbert instead of Tua in the 2020 draft but the owner, Stephen Ross, overruled him, so he was forced into making a talented All-American QB from Alabama a star. A player he never wanted to draft in the first place was but forced upon him.
Thats an issue between him and ownership. Once your hand is dealt and you have the players you have, thats what you work with. Demoralizing your starting QB just isn't a good idea, unless you want to sabotage him and the franchise.
 
He wanted Watson
But he didn't get him. So what do you do if you don't get your way, burn the house down? I guess so. It would appear he was treating the guy poorly when he didn't have a better option at hand. Still not a smart move. This isn't the era of Bill Parcells, etc. Today's players don't respond to that kind of "motivation".

DA wanted Watson too, did he flame Airline Drive? Lol

One might argue that ownership made it an issue with him in the first place, and that subconsciously, Flores partly took it out on the 2020 1st round pick "they chose" and made his life a difficult, agonizing, painful hell as a way of getting back. Vindictiveness can be such a cruel, mean-spirited, and petty set of emotions mostly.

I'm not saying or arguing that if actually true, Flores approach here is in any way rational or logical, it isn't. But NFL HC's are and can be very quirky, peculiar types who want to win "their way but with ALL their guys" and since Tua wasnt one of Flores "players", and was forced upon him by the organization, his ego and pride influenced him to treat him like burnt crap on occasion.

Agree. In the end, Flores didn't do himself any favors. It was almost self sabotage to mentally destroy your starting QB.
 
and yet, it's clear what the person who actually went through all of that thinks about him....

I think the only thing that's clear is what the person who went through it would say in public.

Seriously. If you want to get to where you can pick your QB to develop, like where CSP is, you do it by making it work with the kids sent to you along the way. Not by obstinately coaching in a style that doesn't work.

Flores and this thread is making me feel slightly better about Dennis Allen. 😃
