NFL analyst doesn’t "buy" Tyreek Hill’s explanation of "gotta go coach" social media post

After Tyreek Hill's cryptic “It’s time for me to go coach" tweet on Wednesday stirred the pot on X, the Miami Dolphins star WR came up with an unfiltered follow-up. As per Hill, the post had nothing to do with leaving the Dolphins. It was a mere wish to transition into coaching someday.

But not everyone is convinced.

Mike Florio, alongside Michael Holley on NFL on NBC, dissected the situation with a critical lens. He suggested that Hill's tweet was born out of frustration and definitely not ambition.

"You lit the fuse, and you ran away," Florio quipped, referencing the NFL WR. [1:57] "And then you came back, and you're like, 'I didn't set any bomb off.' I don't buy it. It was a manifestation of the frustration that he was feeling in the moment that he tweeted it."

Elaborating how Tyreek Hill is grappling with the fleeting nature of an NFL career, Florio added:

"He's frustrated because the Dolphins stink, and there's nothing you can do about it. And he's... the clock's ticking on his career. And, yeah, it's time for me to go coach. Like, get me the hell out of here. Not out of Miami—get me out of this game. Just get me out of it. I'm going to go do something else."

As Mike Florio pointed out, it is a possibility that Tyreek Hill could be frustrated with his team's performance.

Currently, the Dolphins' once-promising season teeters on the brink. Their 11-6 record from the last season is out of reach now.

Even if they make a potential postseason appearance, the real question is whether the team can win a playoff game, which they have not been able to do since 2000--the longest active drought in the NFL.

Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins’ slim path to the NFL playoffs

After last Sunday's loss to the Texans, the Dolphins' postseason odds have plummeted to a grim 5%. However, a win in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers could turn the tables. On the other hand, a loss would straightaway seal their elimination.

Similarly, the Week 17 and Week 18 games against the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, respectively, have equal razor-thin margin for error.
