In a statement provided to The Denver Post today, Broncos president of football operations John Elway responded to the lawsuit filed by Brian Flores that included the Broncos and called his interview with the team in January 2019 a “sham.”
Elway said the Broncos “strongly considered,” Flores to replace Vance Joseph and called it “unfortunate and shocking to learn for the first time this week that Brian felt differently about our interview with him.”
Flores, fired as the Miami Dolphins’ coach last month, included the Dolphins, Broncos, New York Giants and the NFL in his lawsuit regarding unfair hiring practices.
