Fans are excited about the hire after watching Flores call three near perfect games during the post-season and a Super Bowl that held the L.A. Rams to just three points and slew of punts. Flores will begin assembling his staff today and we will soon know what rumors of his coaching staff will in fact become real.
With the announcement Flores will become the 13th head coach in Dolphins history and this will be the first team in the NFL that he has coached outside of the Patriots. The Dolphins are hoping that Flores will bring the intensity that was seen in the Super Bowl by their defense.
The next step is hiring the coaching staff and then breaking down the roster with Grier as they begin working towards re-building the Dolphins on both sides of the ball. Player evaluations have already started with Grier but now they will be able to get the input from the man they tabbed as the head coach almost a month ago.
Agent Sean Kiernan from @SelectSports who represents new #Dolphins coach Brian Flores, worked overnight to finalize terms on a contract. He’ll be at the Dolphins facility early with GM Chris Grier and VP Brandon Shore. Both sides expect a signed contract before today's presser.

Flores will have his work cut out for him as the Dolphins look to reshape the roster and change the mentality of the locker room. Flores has known nothing but winning and the Dolphins hope that he can bring at least a part of what is called the “Patriot Way” to Miami.
Flores will not have time to relish his 6th Super Bowl as he will get to work immediately upon signing his contract.
