Brian Flores was not just a good choice as the Miami Dolphins’ next head coach.
He’s “a slam-dunk hire,” says a former Patriots scout who has known Flores for his entire NFL career.
These days, Jim Nagy runs the Senior Bowl, an all-star showcase game held here every January.
But a decade and a half ago, Nagy was an area scout for the Patriots, working alongside Flores in New England’s front office. They won a Super Bowl together in 2004. And while it’s been years since they wore the same logo, Flores still has no better professional reference than Nagy, who gushed about his longtime friend Monday.
