Ken Schofield, who authored a report on the way forward for England after their 5-0 Ashes whitewash in 2006-07, called for Flower to remain in the job after the current series ends.
Flower's coaching future is unclear after his first Ashes defeat. There is speculation he may not continue but Schofield said he was a strong supporter.
"I would like to think the fact these results have gone so wrong would want him to have another go and not leave on a negative. Only he would know," Schofield told Fairfax Media.
Schofield also does not believe another in-depth review of English cricket is required, despite losing the Ashes after three heavy Test defeats to Michael Clarke's Australians.
