tenure. The team had a 24-25 record in the regular season with him leading the way. He was never able to lead the Dolphins to the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Tagovailoa hasn\u2019t spoken all that highly of Flores since his stint with the Dolphins came to an end. In August of last year, he insinuated that a \u201cterrible\u201d Flores told him he\u00a0sucked\u00a0at what he did and didn\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n<p>Flores later responded to Tagovailoa\u2019s comments and said he was happy for the quarterback\u2019s success. He also said that Tagovailoa calling him a terrible person hit him in a way that he \u201cwouldn\u2019t say was positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,123749106\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5eb56158e9893f1f1a5bfcb8_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Flores is the current defensive coordinator of the\u00a0Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota finished the 2024 season with a very impressive 14-3 record but flamed out early on in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to claim that Tagovailoa has enjoyed plenty more individual and collective success under current Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel than he did under Flores. Tagovailoa has had some very good statistical seasons under McDaniel, and Miami has also made the playoffs multiple times since McDaniel took over the team\u2019s coaching reins.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,123749106\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5eb56158e9893f1f1a5bfcb8_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tagovailoa, McDaniel and the Dolphins will aim for their third playoff appearance of the last four seasons in the 2025 campaign.
