I respect a man who can admit his mistakes over a man who just denies he ever made a mistake
It was a mistake to pay Tua regardless but it was an even bigger mistake for anyone to hire Brian in Football. Why, because Brian got found out and he is just covering. He really did NOT have any other choice. Hardly means he's a changed Man that now admits his mistakes. So if you respect that, go right ahead. So folks will literally fall for anything and anyone.
He never admitted too it 😂😂😂 he just took the high roll & gave a mature responses to a little kid. He clearly said “Do I feel like that’s me; NO”! You guys have to learn the comprehension of communication
@@Bankroll98 And you have learn that evil people lie all the time about changing.
@@natureredux1957How “was” it a mistake to pay a man who hasn’t even played a down with his new contract yet 😂 goofy
@Michael-ld2np what did he do to earn that contract?
And Stephen A is the consummate company man. Always looking out for the bosses😂😂
And that Check.....
EXACTLY 100%. He gets no respect from me as a journalist for that.
When you sue someone you can’t expect to work for them
I swear smh
@@leewilliams2477his contracts up too lol
Stephen A just got his check from the NFL office😂
He doesn’t work for the nfl
Exactly
Dry snitching 😂😂
Dude was actively hating on his most important player and acted like its not part of the reason he didn't fired, just because you are the coach and a first time coach doesn't mean you get to pick your players plenty of white coaches have inherented bad situations and have gotten fired even Justin Herbert's White head coach got fired bruh these jobs ain't forever if you ain't winning or don't have cache.
@@spenser6353NFL is in bed with ESPN he works for ESPN so your statement holds no water.
You can always count on Steven A throwing someone under the bus when Corporate rings the bell:)
100% What a shill.
He doesn’t work for the NFL
@@spenser6353ESPN is in cahoots with the NFl.
@@spenser6353 HAHAHA! Okay:)

If only Sean Payton could be so honest with himself.
BULLSHIGGIDY
If only Russell Wilson could be so honest with himself.
What does Sean Payton have to do with this?. Russell Wilson needs to realize his time in the NFL is over. He needs to retire.
It's about Flores and Tua
@@ashleysantarelli9634facts.
His case has nothing to do with Tua's comments, Brian Flores owned it, nuff said
Yep
Exactly. Making sumn bigger than what it is.
His case ties directly with Tua's comments. His case is essentially that he was fired because he is black. The Dolphins are saying he was fired for football reasons, including his relationship with the 1st Rd draft pick QB. The owner sided with Tua because of how Flores was treating him.
Ur crazy. It's his character n credibility. Steve only one who lives in reality
💯
I dont see anything wrong with Brian Flores' response. He addressed it and spoke in a way that it doesnt need to be spoken ln again unless Tua comes out and says something else
Well what other choice did Brian really have.
Stephen A is just being a shill trying to help his boss the NFL. Remember the NFL is in bed with ESPN now and butters their bread. Stephen A is simply being a paid attack dog. Anyone with a brain knows the Flores lawsuit has nothing to do with Tua being a baby and not accepting coaching. If you go across the league and ask young QB's if they are treated like they own the place immediately or their coaches make them earn respect. I guarantee 95% of the young players have to earn their coaches respect and get coached hard at first.
@@natureredux1957 Could've denied it, Could've said he didn't mean it that way, could've not taken accountability. So yeah, he had plenty of choices, he didn't do anything criminal.
@@Bookerjj Not if Tua has proof. I suspect he does. So then, Brian really did not have any other choice.
@natureredux1957 lol what prof, this is the definition of hearsay, Tua is speaking to his feelings and emotions. Like I said, he could've easily, just say he didn't mean it way, deflect or give several other deflection answers. There are other alternatives than to just say " I didn't do it" and lie.
Either you are lying to yourself or just young and green, but you will run into a lot of people that don't take accountability. Things are not always black and white. Welcome to the real world, young fella.
He didnt deny it because he didnt need to. Tua isnt accusing him of any criminal acts. Also denying it would have created this ongoing back and forth between him and tua. Flores didnt want that to be a distraction from his responsibilities to the Vikings anymore than it already is.

@@ahastar1141yup
No, Brian Flores is trying to put an end to the conversation. No need to go back and forth. 🤷🏾♀️
If I were him I'd have tried to put an end to it too, for purposes of self=preservation. He knows full well that the longer this is talked about, the worse he and his silly lawsuit look.
Stephen really sat on national television and detailed the ways the NFL should negatively view coach Flores. His consistent stance when speaking on situations involving black athletes and their legal matters is nasty.
I mean maybe they shouldn’t act like Gods gift.
@@BalerionTheBringerofdeathyou sound mad lol 😂
Umm you think thr NFL is unaware of the relationship between Tua and Flores. Their is a lawsuit they already interviewed him. Lol y'all love hating this man but watch him everyday lol.
Stephen is a Clown. Just because he was a Hard Coach.....doesnt mean the NFL is any less Racist towards Black Coaches.
@@BalerionTheBringerofdeath says the bringer of death stfu
I'm not surprised SA made the case for the organization over the coach. I'll just end it there
Limited vision.
Just imagine if they would've took that gifted kid that plays for the Chargers? That's all Flores wanted,is he wrong?
@@charleshardy9346Flores wanted Love not Herbert.
@@charleshardy9346 that’s not the problem imagine your boss never wanted to hire you berated you every day told you how bad you was and made it a hostile work environment would you think his firing was just
@@charleshardy9346yes he’s wrong for talking to someone like that
Everyone had Tua under the bus. Tua is not out of the woods yet, still a lot to prove.
This
He's proved that he's a starter
@@CanuckifyouBuck
Naw he proved that with one of the best receivers in the game and a strong running game, he’s serviceable.
And that’s all u need these days. Remember when the Cheetah first came to MIA what he said? Regarding Tua, he said “ I’m gonna make u a lot of money.” Or something to that effect. 212M later, he didn’t lie lol
But he's proved he's a starter and a good player in this league, which is the opposite of what Flores said to him
He was the best QB last year regular season by a mile.
a decent response from brian flores
Nahh, only said it for the sake of his next job
@@mikemike6182he’s two years in at Minny and 3 years removed from the dolphins the same team who was willing to settle with Brian after his allegations and the same team that tried to sale
@@mikemike6182that won’t get him fired 😂
...Brian Flores is from Brooklyn. So I'll just say what he was thinking. Dafuq outta here...!!!
💯
Oh if he from NY that’s just how those coaches talk
When being real goes wrong
SAS is reaching…. Two totally different situations….Flores owned it, let it go bro
SAS not even Fox News would take this angle. SAS is basically saying Flores lawsuit is null and void.
Im giving this a thumbs up for Brian's response! A+++
Flores should’ve just doubled down, “yea Tua still sucks”
Should’ve been like “yea tua a b***” 😂😂
But that wld be a lie so you're into being lied to 😂😂😂
Lol
@@truthonly-nah it would be true
Facts 😂😂😂😂
Seeing ESPN use a clip from Dan’s show just feels dirty
Great point!
I’m sure he gets some type of compensation
Quiet down. LeBatard Loves it!
What Dan?
You think Lebatard hates free publicity on the sports largest platform ?? 😂😂
Stephen A wants to be a politician so bad because he just said a whole lot of nothing. This has nothing to do with his lawsuit. He is always sucking up to the higher ups.
he been doing that for years bro he doing it for the ratings lol
He works for Disney what do you expect?
He's a kissing 🤡
It does kinda have something to do with it. If you’re suing for discrimination, kinda hard to prove your case of you’re showing you’re horrible to your players. If that spread throughout the league, that could be the reason you’re not getting hired🤷🏾♂️
Steve A is a clown. As many mistakes he has made with ESPN he has nerve to be critical on Coach Flores
He wasn’t being critical he was saying actual common sense for the situation.
@SunniMerlot no.. im not sure if you watch First Take, but this is him
Steven A is a 🤡.
💯💯💯 This done topped all the lame things he'd done b4
What makes you feel this way?
@@Just_B_a_GOOD_PERSONhe’s listened to Stephen A talk for thirty seconds. That’s all it takes to make that realization
Thanks…Was going to post same comments with clown face on SASsy the clown
Yea this wasn't a good take from him. Let's hope he revalutes this take.
Stephen a sounds ridiculous
This is the one time he actually is making sense lol
@@rolitshindane5742absolutely agree lol
Exactly
how
The point he brings up about this maybe affecting his wrongful firing or court case makes sense
This is real man stuff. He owned up to it and didn't deny or deflect it.
Real man stuff don’t be a shitty coach and then claim racism for why you were kicked off via a lawsuit 😂
@@laubachm11that’s fair for the dolphins. But the Giants and Broncos only interviewing him to satisfy the Rooney rule is discrimination
@@MonsterIceethats the rule’s you shouldnt have to interview bums to satisfy black fragility.
@@laubachm11 womp womp
Nahh he only said it because he need a job next 😂😂
Tua spoke his mind and the guy owned it. Conversation over
This is what it should be, end of story.
I don't think Brian Flores said anything to help or hurt himself. Stephen A is so dramatic! SMH.
No, he has an agenda not of his own, tho.
Stephen A is a shady dude ..what was the reason for bringing this up
This is sports media. This is what they do. Why not talk about it? Tua said some things that are disturbing about Flores. I believe Tua is telling the truth.
It’s literally his job. People tune in to listen to them speak on current sports stories/news
You are really slow
@@desireerdawson933of course you do
Err because tua said it publicly? 😂😂
Just saying, as a Vikings fan, I’m extremely glad that Flores is our DC. He’s a tough coach and (most) people respect him and like him. He was great for our defense last year and I expect even better this coming year
No bias whatsoever
He is much better fit to be a DC than a head coach. He had an extreme bias against the offense when he was with Miami, it wasn't just Tua.
As a dolphins fan he’s great for defense and that’s it. A lot of players didn’t like him, a lot of coaches and staff quit because of him. The only people who liked or stuck up for him were defensive players. Great defensive coordinator but bad head coach.
All coaches eventually get fired. Are you confident Flores won't tell the media all the Vikings secrets,plans, ideas. He did that to the Dolphins.
@@alphakenny1_ totally fine with me lol
Tua is "soft"....yet, he was coached by Nick Saban...a defensive minded head coach! Sounds more like second year defensive minded head coach Brian Flores was just a bad head coach...at least for QB's.
Tough guy that can’t play in the cold…get out of here
Brian Flores didn't want Tua he wanted Justin Herbert
Tua's offense was trash under Flores but that same offense was Winning games with Ryan Fitzpatrick 🤷♂️
Well seeing how anytime he plays a team over .500 or in weather under 40 degrees he does seem soft
Right. Tough coaching isn't telling you're players they suck because at the end of the day the goal is to get the best out of them so you can win. If you yell at them you at them from a " I know you're better then that" type of energy
Respect to Flores for being a man ... not running from his mistakes & owning them.
You don’t get credit for owning up to your words or actions.
@@TempeSoldier123yes you do
@@jalalstephens7457 you do?
@@TempeSoldier123 yes cause everyone makes them
@@jalalstephens7457 makes what?
Molly is right...he could have experienced racism and coached Tua hard/badly. One has nothing to do with the other.
🎯
But in Steven's POV, the legal sharks in that case could use the situation with Tua as a way to claim that Flores's racism grounds are unfounded
Brian Flores admits his mistake, says he has grown from it and hopes to do better. That's much more mature than the people criticizing Tua "you soft".
Never admitted his mistake,he just blew passed it and just said " I've learned from it."
@@jkranitesno mistake to admit to. This is football not a regular corporate America job. Extreme example of a Performance based business. Worse gets said daily in Wall Street firms, no one apologizes for it
Stephen A really created a narrative out of apples and oranges. He would be the one to bring up the lawsuit as if one thing has something to do with the other. He really loves creating problems for everyone but himself!
His case ties directly with Tua's comments. His case is essentially that he was fired because he is black. The Dolphins are saying he was fired for football reasons, including his relationship with the 1st Rd draft pick QB. The owner sided with Tua because of how Flores was treating him. If Tua's comments are true, then that legitimizes the Dolphins case.
Every person who played football has been chewed out.. new generation weak
Being chewed out and being penalized for being drafted instead of Herbert is two different things. Tua was under Saban and definitely got hard coaching. This is not the same.
As fck
He played for Nick Saban. He doesn't have a problem being "chewed out." Flores took it too far, and everyone, including Flores himself, feels that way.
Soft asf I feel like if he didn’t get paid comments would have never been made he better ball out that’s all I know! He got his big boy pants on now
@@roberthobbs6989man stfu it’s clear y’all still don’t understand people
Brian Flores gave a grown response! 💯 He owned it, pivoted and moved on! Nothing else left to be said.
SAS stop it , TUA isn’t part of his lawsuit , your doing police work bro.
Nobody is taking into account when Tua said “The NFL is easier than I thought.” Brian Flores said “bet now ima get on your case every chance I get and see how easy it is.” And now you have Tua crying saying how much of a bad person Flores is.
This
Easy as in the game, not treatment of a person who you are trusting in helping you get better.
It's similar to bad parenting.
You mention bad person not bad game.
The quote is “I expected it to be a lot harder, not that it is not hard”.
He clarified his comments later that week saying “it’s hard. It’s difficult to score. My comments were taken out of context “
I’m not a Dolphin fan in fact the Dolphins humiliated the Broncos running the score up but be fair, I am 😂
@@broncosbest6441 After another couple of concussions, he'll have THAT to blame it on next.
I respect Brian for that response.
You shouldn’t have to deny it, UNLESS Flores was unemployed at this time. But since he’s employed, he can’t bring all the he said she said into a different locker room. Got to focus on the Vikings and the 2024-2025 season
🎯
Flores was terrible, got it
@@MonsterIcee Hey, I can’t vouch for if he was or wasn’t. But all in all, he said exactly what he should’ve said
He made it clear that he didn't handle it correctly. Only person he should apologize to is Tua. He's obviously still hurt by it. Hopefully he gives him a call and bury the hatchet.
Tua is trash, he has a great receiver 😮
TUA NEEDS TO MAN UP AND LEARN HOW TO WIN IN COLD WEATHER 🥶 ONE OF THE MOST OVER RATED PLAYERS OF ALL TIME 😂
He got oaid now, so he's now manly to come out at Flores...Heck what can happen..awkward throwing average Left Hander.
Thank you Kimberly for being the voice of reason. Stephen A. is just doing the NFL's work. This topic wasn't about discrimination. So, why is Steven a saying an unrelated case got weaker?
Because Flores is saying he got fired because of his race, when it may be well for being toxic
@slymcfly123 man stop smh
@@slymcfly123he definitely wasn't being toxic
Duhhh... are you dumb??? This case is Directly tied to this conversation. You just Know the league Lawyers will bring this up in deposition

Stephen A working for the league. Also, theres no such thing as speaking your truth
I think someone giving their opinion is an example of someone speaking what they truly believe aka "speaking your truth" if I say God is real and you say He's not, am I speaking truth and you're speaking lies ? Well from my standpoint you are. Then you would say I'm speaking lies and you're telling the truth. So I'm speaking my truth and you're speaking yours
@dnative93 no youd be speaking your opinion and I'd be speaking my opinion and we'd both see who's right when we are dead.
@@noname-qb7ir okay but belief goes beyond opinion. No one is out teaching something they don't truly believe in. I mean they are lol but I'm saying in that state you believe so much because you think it's the truth
@dnative93 we can always find the odd outlier. But in 99pc of non religious cases there's fact and opinion. My truth is the panthers are great, your truth is they're trash. The truth is they're trash.
What you mean he working for league 😂
SAS has a rather stupid take.
As usual!
U shouldn’t be shamed in taking legal action against an employer.. that’s a right in the USA
Just because you have a right to do something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be shamed. People have freedom of speech but we shame them for it all the time. We shame people for how they use their rights all the time and sometimes rightfully so
I don’t even think Flores is wrong for filing a lawsuit against the NFL. But your comment is ignorant
Flores has been continual employed by the NFL since he was in his 20s and moved up at every chance . He is still employed.
You can’t sue someone and still expect to work for them
@@spenser6353yes you can.
Disagree. I’m close to someone in employment law… 80% of the cases are absolutely ridiculous or a money grab. 15% have some merit, but there are issues on both sides. 5% there is an issue.
Stephen A is really upset that Flores has a lawsuit against the NFL. Always faking like he’s against racism 😂 He did the same thing to Colin.
Stephen A made it a point to stay on the negatives and lawsuit😂 this man is shameless
🎯
Stephen A. working for corporate as usual. Brian Fores is suing the NFL in relation to discrimination. The way Flores treated Tua has nothing to do with teams not hiring him. What a joke. Stephen A. had no business changing the narrative in a court case poisoning the opinions of potential jurors or judges hearing the case.
His case is bs anyways look at the details , and tell me if that's discrimination, just because the Giants hired Dabol instead. He claimed sham interviews happen what about the sham interviews conducted to the white candidates too . ? Also he says A gm came late to an interview which he can't prove and do what if a gm did.. Its obvious ge fired from Miami for not getting along with Tua and the black gm..
Take Tyreek Hill off that team and the rest of you would be back to saying exactly what Flores did about Tua lol
Facts
@@AntonioFerguson-ym3khtake the number 1 receiver away from any QB not named Patrick Mahomes and you will see many of them struggle as well. QBs need weapons to throw to.
@zacharylocke5512 but waddle is a number 1......
Tua had a winning record with flores, and with out Tyreek😂
Jeez, not really
Stephen a stfu bout the lawsuit 😂 has nothing to do w the topic
Well it proves Flores is a bully and victim.
Cmon SAS, that’s lame AF to try and connect Flores legal issues with his personal relationship with another dude. Every football coach ever has at least one bad relationship with a player, owner and or another coach. What does this have to do with his lawsuits?
A lot of ppl are quick to say Tua is soft. They can't realize that Tua improved still under Flores. Especially with the last ranked o-line & WR. Can't forget that Tua also played his first year going through physical therapy because of his hip recovery. That's soft?
He’s won one game more than when he was under Flores. He def no Tom Brady
ESPN doesn't know which side to take. lol 🤷Tua is speaking like a domestic violence victim, but Flores is black. 🤦♂
At the end of the day that's a dumb way to coach. You yell at you're players to get the best out of them but it doesn't make since to tell them they suck like you're the opposing team. Last time I checked the goal is to win
Lol. Hilarious Espn so wishes Flores was white
@@Tone22845definitely right on that part
Blacks are ahead of women in the current far left pecking order, though. That's why NFL players are constantly allowed to get away scot free when they slap women around.
How would this affect the lawsuit. What does this have to do with that
The lawsuit is flemsey anyways, there is no smoking gun.
The lawsuit accuses Dolphins of firing him because of his race and solely because of his race, not his performance or his interactions with his players.
This information now sheds light into his interactions and, from the Miami Dolphins point of view, the reason why he was released.
If he denies his interactions were sour he can maintain he was fired for his race, but he openly admits he had a difficult relationship with the starting QB which doesn't help his claim/s.
This is the NFL not high school
I am dumbfounded how SAS is looking out for the NFL smh
Stephen A only type of person that'll say it's a bad look to admit the truth and say you've grown.
He wasn't saying that it was a bad look morally. He was saying that not denying the incident with Tua was a bad look when it comes to Legal matters when the defense in Flores's case, which is the NFL and the Dolphins, can use this as leverage in the outcome of that case. Has nothing to do with Flores as a person or coach
The coach that risks Tua's life by putting him back on the field wobbling with a concussion and then LIED about it is a "horrible person" it was not Brian Flores
He didn’t lie. He went with what the doctors told him and they said Tua was fine after the Buffalo game.
Some of you guys are denying Tua's experience as if you were there and that's wild. From what Tua said this man did nothing to build him up as a player, instead of working with what he got Flores went the route of trying to break this man down. In Flores mind maybe his harsh criticism was supposed to be motivational, but obviously he wasnt paying attention to how Tua was responding or else he would've realized his approach wasn't working. And it's not hard to imagine, anyone that's been in a teaching environment or place where you had a mentor there's good mentors and bad mentors and what makes someone a good mentor or teacher isn't the same for everyone cause we all don't respond to the same things. It's just unfortunate that things played out that way.
I agree. Also, Tua played for Saban so he’s not someone who can’t take criticism. What Brian Flores did was different. Man literally tried to break down his quarterback psychologically. It’s that Belichick mentality. As you can tell by Bills coaching tree, his way is mediocre asf without Brady.

@@jeffdaman6969 LOlolololololololololol SOFT
It's amazing how so many people just somehow "know" eveything Flores says is true and everything Tua says is a lie 🙄Reminds me of how everybody suddenly became a medical school graduate in 2020 if ya know what I mean.
Flores doesn't have to deny anything. His coaching style might have helped someone else. Tua is only one player.
These comments from Stephen A is the main reason I don’t watch this show regularly anymore 🤷🏽♂️
This the softest male generation ever 😂
When you Start using "My truth" referring to grown men...men are now on the same level as women
@@wmMustafanothing wrong with rhat
"My truth" simply means my side of the story. History itself is a compilation of mostly men saying "their truth."
And just so you know, the people in the generation before you also called your generation of males the softest ever. Every generation says that about the next generation. No man has EVER said, "This new generation is tougher, or stronger than us."
@jordanthomas1938 It's a Feminine phrase!
Exactly!
"I'm disappointed in your response" 😂
Flores is literally owning up to it and people criticizing Tua are just plain delusional. Crazy!
Wouldn’t ownership and management have a reason for firing a head coach due to their dissatisfaction with how the coach is treating the starting quarterback and other players, maybe they wanted to find a head coach that they would have confidence in having a successful working relationship with the players
What Stephen A is saying is Brian's complaining about racism but become a racist himself😂😂
Flores handled that perfectly he didn't really admit anything personally, didn't say anything to discredit himself. If I'm his attorney, I'm happy with that response
No, he handled that like someone who didn't expect one of the many people he mistreated to actually call him on it and hid behind shades like a coward because he was too afraid of even looking anybody in the eye for fear of his lying being obvious.
Brian Flores wasn't wrong at the time, Tua clearly wasn't ready to be the starter in his rookie year. ownership and the Dolphins fanbase derailed everything. now the Dolphins have an overpaid QB that's gonna be a backup for the rest of his career pretty soon
There might be truth to that considering Tua is not good against the elite teams
🤦
If he wasn't ready then why did Flores throw him to the wolves his first year?
@@brianfitzsimmons6074 if u read my entire comment then u would see the part where I said “ownership and the Dolphins fanbase derailed everything.” Flores was under a ton of pressure so he had no choice but to start Tua at the time
Yea he wasn't ready his rookie year. He wasn't supposed to play. He was recovering from a broken hip! People always forget that Flores threw him in too early. Flores stunting his growth as a QB and everyone thinks he sucks. Last 2 years he has been top 5 in every major stat for a QB.
Tua soft ash
Your mom
@@RonaldoSetoute-z2x sensitive just like ya boy
It has nothing to with soft, you fool..Tua’s reaction is human nature!
Nah, he has a sleeve tattoo now, so he is hard
as tissue
It is incredibly weak, unprofessional and immature to say someone is a bad person simply because they coached you hard.
You can’t impugn someone’s overall character just because they were a tough coach. Also, it’s not like Tua was playing well. He was playing horribly, and was out played by Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Was Brian Flores supposed to stroke Tua’s ego in perpetuity?
Same so.. imagine high first round QB could barely move the chains, has to Re install the great grandfather Fitzpatrick. Now you gets Paid he has all the mouth..😂
Stephen A is a hater.... Always trying to mess black people money up😂
Stephen A just killed this man lawsuit. He didn’t have to take this approach.
Stephen A. is a pure clown! He literally trying to bring up all the negative things about Flores to get his lawsuit threw out and making him look worse smh
Yeah, this is nasty work
I like Stephen A. but he's making this a bigger story than it is.
We can't blame coaches for how they try improve players,Tua is a crybaby
Stephen A took this to a conversation it didn’t need to go to. Nobody thinking about the lawsuit we talking about the growth in this man
I really enjoyed listening to Steven A’s perspective. Not a lot of yelling, but spitting intellectually. Definitely wish he did this more.
Tua needs to grow up. How soft can you be?
You have no idea what you're talking about 😂
You kinda forgot that rookies have no choice in who drafts them. No one forces YOU to stay at a job but players are. Try to get a clue.
I bet if McDonald’s forgets your fries you freak out and have a meltdown 😂
Calling out abuse instead of accepting and justifying it IS growing up. Why isn't anybody calling Flores soft for actually suiing a league that hires black head coaches all the time just because one of them hasn't been him for 2 years?
Tua soft as cotton
What is Stephen A. talking about? The fact that he treated him the way he did proves that he was under stress to lose. It helps his case more than it hurts it.
This is a Brian Flores brother from Brownsville Brooklyn who don’t play no games and Tua is just soft
Stephen A sitting here trying to help the NFL and the dolphins power is sad smh
Bruh, Tua is soft.
Softer then Charmin
I like tua
Brain Flores had the nerve to say being called a "terrible person" hit him in a way that wasn't positive but he thought it was Ok to tell Tua that he sucked literally everyday for a few years.
Because he does suck. Those ,5 yard passes to Tyreke isn't fooling anybody with his noodle arm.
Truth is sometimes OFFENSIVE
WTF are they talking bout...Stephen A with all this on and on nonsense, this was a wasted segment
Bro I respect Flores so so much, dude owned up to it. His players defending him, and to add to all of it flores never really wanted Tua. So I’m glad he was able to see where he messed up.
Stephen A acts like he REALLY KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT IS FUNNY TO ME😂😂😂
Absence of denial, is not admission of guilt
According to the people in charge of society, it actually is. They're the ones who keep saying silence is consent.
Please will someone shut Kimberly Martin’s mic 🎤 OFF!
Better yet, just fire her. She's a dei hire if I've ever seen one.
He wanted a war of words 😂😂
Tua taking up for ownership, to get that deal done
Man Flores should've never played the race card and filed a lawsuit against NFL. This is kind of justifying Tua's take on him. You can't call someone racist just because they didn't hire you. That alone was a big red flag that he's not fit to be HC of a franchise.
Flores didn't deny it. Tua has a great coach now with Mike that treats him with respect and kindness. He showed him what he does well and built back up his confidence.
I highly doubt Tua meant to call him a "terrible person" for all the world to hear. Sounds like something that just slipped out as he was reliving the moment.
That was his truth and his trauma talking. That’s how he really feels about the situation and the person.
@@itsjustkameron5799 I know that, and I appreciate that he as a person has been through a lot. But sometimes you gotta be a professional and get over it, and not totally attack someone who is still in the same league as you.
He knew that would get out.
@@SuperHorseSense it doesn’t work like that in the real world. I don’t care how famous you are or how much money you make, Tua is still a human so it’s not easy for him to just “get over it” and move on after 2 years of scolding and mistreatment.
It's a generational thing. Flores comes from old school type of coaching, where they did speak like that. This new generation of coaches tend to cuddle players. I'm not saying one is wrong and the other is right, just stipulating the biggest difference between them
Missing the bigger story of Flores blaming his failures on racism
But somehow that doesn't make Flores soft. Typical far left hypocrisy.
Brian Flores came from New England with Bill Belichick…the dude knows what winning looks like. Tua is feeling himself because of that contract but Flores wasn’t wrong that dude was horrid and soft
Reporter doubled-down on a question Tua initially evaded. So he answered it. Make no mistake: Flores gave Tua the Mac Jones’ treatment.
They only put this out bc of that lawsuit Flores has against the league…only reason this is out bc it’s every where in the league on every team..don’t ever hear abt it like this.
YES. They are desperate to make the problem go away. They need arbitration for that. And they are smear campaigning Flores as retributiom in an attempt to keep him from future HC jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if the front office told Tua they were going to give him what he wanted $$$ and nudged him to show his gratitude by contimuing to whine two years after the fact to make sure no one has forgotten or not heard - they only have ao much time to get into a potential juror's head.
RG3 wants to know why is she working and hes watching
Do you see the set of headlights that she has on her? That answers your question.
It's a hunch but I believe RG3 was fired because he made a subliminal joke about attempting a return to the NFL
Flores is probably growing a lot more than Tua. I get where Tua is coming from, though, but at some point, you need to improve and to be honest, Tua has not improved as much as the roster around him has. Of course, Tua can prove us all wrong, but if he flames out towards the end of the season when the games matter most... again, it will be an indictment on Tua, not Flores.
I guess I can't blame him, but I find it curious that Tua's candor got more pronounced once he got his money. Him and Mike McDaniel got to BEAT somebody, in important games, before I get colored impressed. Because, let's be honest, having a freak athlete like Tyreek Hill would make a LOT of QBs/coaches look good. They gotta go out and do something already.
@@corneliuspraeda6452 Exactly. I feel the same way. If someone does you wrong, then of course, call them out, but honestly, I get confused about how Tua says, "We can get scrappy if you want." Yet he has a hard time with being told he sucks.
Tua snatched the starting QB spot from Jalen in the Championship game. Nick Saban made that move midgame. Tua can handle tough, raw, honest, but fair coaching.
That's true in Alabama, but who us better QB now..
Translation: Tua, which is within his rights, went to the Dolphins owner, and said "Either he goes, or I go! I can't take this %$#@ anymore!", so winning record or not, the owner is gonna side with his franchise QB. Stephen Ross has a right to fire his head coach, if he can't build a good relationship with his franchise QB. QB talks to other QBs, owners talk to other owners, etc....
