So on Monday, Marcel, news breaks out of nowhere that the dolphins have just fired their head coach, Brian Flores.

This was supposed to be the first day of the off season for you.

So were you already, like, wearing swim trunks when your world blew up? What was that even like?

Well, you know, I got a nice view from my bedroom. I can see, you know, the western part of Miami,

big skyline. I see the hammock outside and I was thinking, man, I think I'm going to spend some time

out there today.

Marcel Louis Jacques covers the Miami Dolphins for ESPN.

And then, you know, the word from Shepter came in.

We got a lot of breaking news.

There's a lot of things going on across the league.

We knew it would be a busy morning.

The big surprise of the morning is in Miami, where the Miami Dolphins have fired their head coach Brian Flores. Harding ways with him.

Let go of him. A little bit of surprise coming off a big win over the New England Patriots.

It's one of those like I love reporting moments. Obviously, I'm not excited for anybody to lose their job,

but that like moment of excitement when, you know, like something major just happened,

and you have to, like, you have to cover it.

I know I need to get a new story out. I needed to come up with a reaction.

I need to make a couple calls to whatever sources I can

to just get anything on background.

I had an unnamed editor who essentially called me

just to say, man, that sucks.

Have a good rest of the day.
