When the Miami Dolphins shockingly fired head coach Brian Flores on Monday, some thought the team must have a handshake deal with a candidate like Jim Harbaugh. Not so fast.
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has no interest in entertaining bringing Harbaugh in.
“I’m not going to be the person to take Jim Harbaugh from the University of Michigan,” Ross is quoted as saying.

It goes without saying that Ross’ comments drew a reaction on social media.
“I want to win… but not that much,” one fan commented.

“This is so angering to me,” another fan tweeted. I like the Dolphins. I (almost) always love an underdog,” he continued. “But this is the equivalent of chewing your cuffed left hand off while holding the key on the right.”

“Then there should have been zero reason to fire Flores,” replied former NFL receiver Rob Carpenter.
