3 years agoFormer Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is viewed as the strong favorite to land the head-coaching job for the Houston Texans after he interviewed with the team on Friday. The Texans fired previous head coach David Culley late in the week after Miami moved on from Flores. Flores has strong ties to Texans general manager Nick Caserio and executive Jack Easterby from their time together in New England. Flores won eight of his final nine games with the Dolphins. Perhaps most importantly, Flores was the main reason the Dolphins pursued Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson at the trade deadline this year. "I'm telling you, Nick is going to come out of this looking like a genius," said one high-ranking NFL exec who knows Caserio well. "He and Flores go way back. That is a perfect fit. And, it's going to help him keep that quarterback. Just watch."--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
