Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa criticized his former head coach, Brian Flores, describing him as a 'terrible person' who undermined his confidence during their two seasons together. Flores, now the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, responded by acknowledging Tua's success and reflecting on his own coaching methods, admitting he has learned and grown. Flores emphasized that part of coaching involves correction and maintaining high standards, and he expressed regret over how his coaching style impacted Tagovailoa. Analysts and fans have largely supported Tua, while some, like Tom Brady, argue that tough coaching can be beneficial. Flores stressed his commitment to building positive relationships and improving as a coach moving forward.
