O'Shea fired in Miami because players were too daft to learn the playbook.

When Brian Flores took the Miami job, he knew he was going to need an offensive mind. So he looked inside, he looked to his family, he looked to the Patriots and then he did what was best. He signed Chad O'Shea to be his coordinator.

Rob Bradford of WEEI shared the thoughts of many in Patriots Nation about O'Shea. " And when the Dolphins went on to win three of their last five games -- including a season-ending victory in Foxboro -- everything pointed to O'Shea immersing himself as part of the rebuilding of the Dolphins."

However, Chad O'Shea was released from his duties with the Dolphins after the season. Leading many to wonder what the hell happened. 

Bradford wrote that according to the Miami Herald, the Dolphins' personal were too stupid to be able to run O'Shea's offense. It was a system that Hoyer, McDaniels, and Brady could implement but one that Josh Rosen and Ryan Fitzpatrick were too dense to pick up.

The Herald wrote "The Patriots offense is considered complex, but a player said O’Shea made the situation worse by trying to install especially complicated, advanced elements of the Patriots offense that Brady and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels used." 

According to the paper, O'Shea would go to Flores complaining that the players weren't putting in the work to learn the playbook. By the end of the season, the playbook should've been close to second nature for the veterans. However, Bradford says the players blamed O'Shea for their faults and left Flores with little choice.

"Some of the players felt O’Shea wasn’t doing a good job teaching it..." Forcing Flores' hand, "O'Shea was replaced by 67-year-old Chan Gailey." Said Bradford.

O'Shea took a lot of heat by Patriots Nation after being fired when there was speculation that he could replace McDaniels if McDaniels went to Cleveland. The thought was O'Shea couldn't coach, he was a one and done. It now looks like there is a team of mentality slow football players in Florida and no, I am not talking about the Buccaneers. 

The Patriots need help on their coaching staff, and there is always room for an Intelligent coach in the building. Especially since Patriots' players are smart enough to coach in their own rights. 

Many in Pats' nation owe O'Shea an apology as it's been proven players outside the Patriots organization aren't smart enough to learn the Patriots system and culture. Guess that's just another aspect of Belichick's general managing that gets overlooked.
