The Dolphins made a major decision on Monday, firing coach Brian Flores after three seasons and back-to-back winning records.
ESPN cited a deteriorating relationship with starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as a major factor in the team's move, but Flores's dismissal could also impact the team's potential pursuit of another quarterback: Deshaun Watson.
Miami has been one of the potential landing spots most frequently linked to Watson. However, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, much of the interest on Watson's end was predicated on the idea of playing for Flores.
Watson has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 20 women, and is currently embroiled in the resulting legal battle.
