It's notable that most of the reactions being seen are defensive players. Brian Flores is known as a defensive-minded coach and he seems to have made an impact on the Dolphins roster. From Jason McCourty to Robert Hunt, the current players on the roster are completely stunned by Monday's actions.

We'll see how this all plays out for the Dolphins. It'll be difficult to replace Brian Flores, as he's viewed as one of the better young coaches in the league. He's likely to be hired as a head coach almost immediately, as he's become the top candidate qualified for that position.

There will be a few candidates the Dolphins have their eyes on. It's rumored that Jim Harbaugh is interested in making a return to the NFL while there are also a few standout coordinators ready for a promotion. Look for Miami to interview guys like Kellen Moore, Byron Leftwich, and Nathaniel Hackett, as they stand out as highly sought-after candidates this offseason.
