“A three-year letter-winning linebacker at Boston College, Flores has worked for the Patriots since 2004, first breaking into the organization in the personnel department as a scouting assistant and eventually transitioning into coaching as an assistant in 2008. He's served in a variety of roles: defensive assistant, offensive assistant/special teams coach, safeties coach and finally, linebackers coach. This season also saw him take over defensive playcalling duties after the departure of Matt Patricia, and the results bode well. New England finished seventh in the NFL in points allowed per game (20.3).” ibid
He was hired because he’s from a winning, successful program (although among the most hated of programs) and has a strong defensive background, and defense is clearly what Miami needs – not because he’s a minority.
