Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was candid in his thoughts of Brian Flores during an interview which aired on Monday, labeling his former head coach a “terrible person.” Speaking on the “Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz,” the 26-year-old QB outlined the difference between Flores’ coaching and his current head coach, Mike McDaniel. “To put it in simplest terms, if you woke up every morning, and I told you that you suck at what you did, that you don’t belong doing what you do, that you shouldn’t be here, that this guy should be here, that you haven’t earned this right, and then you have somebody else come in and tell you: ‘Dude, you are the best fit for this. You are accurate, you are the best whatever, you are this, you are that’ – how would that make you feel, listening to one or the other? You see what I’m saying?” Tagovailoa said. “And then you hear it and hear it – regardless of what it is, the good or the bad – and you hear it more and more, you start to actually believe that. I don’t care who you are. You could be the President of the United States. [If] you have a terrible person that’s telling you things that you don’t want to hear or probably shouldn’t be hearing, you’re going to start to believe that about yourself. “That’s sort of what ended up happening. It’s basically been two years of training that out of, not just me, but a couple of the guys as well that have been here since my rookie year all the way until now.” CNN has reached out to Flores and the Minnesota Vikings, his current team, for comment.
