Even though he now has a job with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a defensive assistant, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores intends to continue to pursue the lawsuit that he filed on February 1 against the National Football League and a few of its constituent organizations, including his former employer, as well as the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos, and eventually the Houston Texans.
Flores has charged racial discrimination in the hiring and retention process throughout the league’s ranks for head coaching opportunities and elsewhere. In the case of the Dolphins, he has also charged owner Stephen Ross with an accusation that he offered to pay Flores to lose games, or to ‘tank’ in other words, which is an attack on the integrity of the game.
