Brian Flores: Tua Tagovailoa's words hit hard, wish QB the best #vikings #miamidolphins #nfl

Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores took a conciliatory tone Tuesday toward Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, a day after the publication of an interview in which Tagovailoa called Flores a "terrible person."

"I'm genuinely, genuinely happy for the success that Tua has had," Flores said, "and I really wish him nothing but the best."

Flores was the Dolphins' head coach for Tagovailoa's first two seasons in Miami from 2020 to '21. He was fired in January 2022 amid speculation that his relationship with Tagovailoa was strained.
