The Miami Dolphins officially announced Brian Flores as the 13th head coach in their franchise’s history. Flores held various roles for the New England Patriots between 2004-18 http://www.patriotscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-lawrence-guy-jersey , most recently as the de facto defensive coordinator. Flores won Super Bowls XXIX, XLIX, LI, and LIII with the PatriotsI think the Dolphins have a good one in Flores, who has spent time in the Patriots’ front office, in addition to coaching the offense and special teams before settling in on defense. Every single player loves Flores and his ability to connect with his players, while also putting every player in position to succeed on the field.Flores is expect to bring a host of former Patriots coaches with him down to Miami in order to establish a new culture. Patriots wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea is expected to be the offensive coordinator, while assistant quarterback coach Jerry Schuplinski should take on the full time position. Flores is also expected to reunite with former Patriots defensive coach Patrick Graham, who is likely to be the defensive coordinator, and former Patriots tight ends coach George Godsey, who is expected to have the same role in Miami.This means that the Patriots will have some vacancies on offense, although they should be ready to fill them. DeMarcus Covington is currently in his second season as an offensive assistant and is a former wide receiver (his coaching experience is on the defensive side of the ball). Atif Austin just completed his first season, but I project him to eventually take over for Ivan Fears as a running backs coach Patrick Chung Jersey , like I expect Cole Popovich to take over for Dante Scarnecchia.On the defensive side of the ball, the Patriots will have to fill Flores’ old position as linebackers coach. Defensive assistants that could take on larger roles are Mike Pellegrino, in his fourth season with the team, and Brian Belichick, in his third season.Bret Bielema, a consultant to the head coach, and former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano are both in discussion to lead the New England defense, although Brendan Daly is considered the in-house favorite. I could see the Patriots shuffling their defensive coaching staff in a major way.Congratulations to Brian Flores on the new job. It’s well earned. Now that Kyler Murray has finally announced that he is choosing to continue forward with a career in professional football, it’s hard not to wonder where he’s going to end up.A 21-year-old out of the University of Oklahoma, and a two-sport phenom who excelled in both football and baseball, Murray is arguably the most intriguing quarterback entering the 2019 NFL Draft. He capped off his junior year with the Sooners by throwing for over 4,300 yards with 42 touchdowns and just seven interceptions, leading them to a 12-2 season and winning the 2018 Heisman Trophy.Murray has franchise quarterback written all over him Eric Rowe Jersey , and some NFL team will make him its quarterback of the future in April. Chances are it won’t be the New England Patriots. But, just for the sake of offseason discussion and entertainment, let’s imagine that it was.Let’s imagine that Bill Belichick has his sights set on Murray, and he trades up into the front half of the first round to ensure that he can take him. Or, perhaps due to his size, Murray slides down toward the bottom of the first round (or possibly even out of it — no quarterback under six feet tall has gone in the first round in over 60 years, and Murray is just a mere 5-foot-10), and Belichick is right there to scoop him up.Kyler Murray to the Patriots? Heck, it would be the most exciting thing to happen in New England since鈥?well, winning the Super Bowl in February. We would have a Heisman-winning quarterback, who made all kinds of headlines in college football last year, backing up Tom Brady in 2019. And whenever Brady does eventually decide to retire, we would already have a quarterback ready to take over who is just as intriguing as Brady himself. Forget Sam Darnold and Josh Allen Cheap Tom Brady Jersey , and whatever newbie replaces Ryan Tannehill in Miami. The Patriots would still have the most exciting quarterback in the AFC East. I don’t have a crystal ball or anything, so I can’t predict how Murray’s career would turn out. But working in New England under Belichick and/or Josh McDaniels, it’s hard to imagine that Murray wouldn’t at least be a pretty solid NFL quarterback. We’d be going from “Tom Brady and the New England Patriots” to “Kyler Murray and the New England Patriots.” Sounds kind of fun, doesn’t it?But don’t forget that we’re just using our imaginations here. It doesn’t seem likely that Belichick would target a quarterback like Murray in the draft; Murray is a big name prospect, and Belichick tends to lean toward the quarterbacks that fly under the radar. Hence, Tom Brady getting drafted in the sixth round in 2000.Also, with Brady still playing at a high enough level to win Super Bowls, the Patriots aren’t necessarily in the market for a successor just yet. It might be another year or two before a legitimate heir to the throne is chosen.But still, just imagine watching Roger Goodell stroll to the podium and announcing, “The New England Patriots select鈥?Kyler Murray, quarterback, Oklahoma.” You can’t look me in the eye and tell me that wouldn’t be a blast.
