After sending shockwaves through the NFL with allegations of racial discrimination in hiring practices and incentives to tank in a lawsuit against the league, longtime NFL assistant and former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores was looking at potentially giving up his carer in the league as a coach to try and make a better league for his peers in the end.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made sure Flores didn’t give up his career while trying to create a better world inside the NFL for minority coaches. Seizing upon an opportunity, Tomlin added Flores to his coaching staff in February, giving the Steelers yet another great defensive mind with which to lean on in the coaching staff, making a strength that much stronger.
