Art Rooney II: Brian Flores Hiring Wasn’t A ‘Statement’, Coach Is Focused On Helping Build A Championship Team

From quarterback Ben Roethlisberger announcing his retirement to general manager Kevin Colbert revealing his plans to step down from that position, this has already been a busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they decided to make it a little bit busier by adding a coach to their staff who is currently filing a lawsuit against the NFL.

That would be new Senior Defensive Assistant Brian Flores, who spent the past three seasons as head coach of the Miami Dolphins before being fired at the end of the 2021 season. He went on several interviews for the nine vacant head coaching positions, and came away from that process believing all the more that it was the right thing to do to take the actions that he has.
