I am sure the NFL will do something now to clean it up. They have taken some heavy, heavy heat since the Gruden emails from last year were leaked, which, honestly? I believe there's more to be seen and heard in that investigation regarding Washington and other circles around the NFL. They decided to use Gruden though as the fall guy.

Houston firing David Culley after one year. Arizona firing Steve Wilks after one year. It's been a bad run lately for minority coaches. How often does "one and done" happen in the NFL to begin with? I know we canned Meyer but Meyer was media nightmare for months on end so he had to go.

Culley? Wilks? None of those guys really did or said anything in a negative way publicly to warrant being dismissed so quickly. Culley especially. He was brought into a terrible roster situation with no QB to begin with due to Watson's off the field issues. Hopefully this doesn't hinder Flores' opportunities moving forward in the NFL though. Again, I think he's a good coach.

Ross offering money for the team to tank is horrendous though. I really think the NFL needs to come down hard on that kind of [BLEEP].

I don’t think you “bite the hand that feeds” and ever coach in this league again.  I liked him a lot in Miami.  The story of him and Tua’s relationship soured me a bit on him.  The speed at which this lawsuit was filed has to have any owner concerned they’d be walking on eggshells around him and they’re not gonna walk on eggshells around anyone.  I guess we’ll see though.

Takes a lot of balls for him to come forward like this. I applaud him. Especially if more than half of this all ends up being proven true in the lawsuit. The NFL, again, they have a really [BLEEP] history of trying to undermine and hide these types of situations in general. 

I actually think his approach with Tua was not only fair, it was justified. Also, it ultimately resulted in that team going on a winning streak. If anything. You can say his approach and relationship with Tua worked the way it should have worked in a very, very competitive AFC East last year. 

Buffalo and New England are not easy to keep up with. Sounds like Ross is a [BLEEP] owner and if anything, he's hindering that team. When they fall back into being less than sub .500 and Tua regresses I hope the fans and media in Miami go hard on him and show no mercy.
