The morning after Super Bowl 53, New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores will board Stephen Ross’s private twin-engine jet and fly with the Miami Dolphins owner to South Florida. That will mark the end of Flores’ days with the Patriots dynasty and the beginning of his time as the new Dolphins head coach.
Whatever the reasons Ross eventually gives for hiring Flores, it’s obvious the Dolphins are undergoing a major revamping of their organization. And the overhaul will give the Dolphins a significant and obvious New England Patriots look.
So it’s fair to say the team that has been among the many to be victimized by the Patriots Way this century is now trying to take from the Patriots and perhaps import the Patriots Way to Miami.
