Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores didn’t appear to believe much in Dolphins young quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, and reports have circulated that paint a picture of a contentious relationship, but Flores maintains that their relationship wasn’t strained.
Flores recently spoke to I Am Athlete about Tagovailoa, and his relationship with the Dolphins quarterback.
“This is an interesting topic” Flores said. “Because it wasn’t strained.”
“I think we had a good relationship. It was a player/coach relationship, and I think in a relationship like that, the coach challenges the player, and often times the player challenges the coach” Flores continued.
“I think there was a great deal of respect between the two of us. So you hear this crazy kind of narrative that’s out there, but this is a young man who works, developed, and got better over two years and I think he’s got a bright future.”
