While the Pittsburgh Steelers were more active than usual this offseason in their roster-building methods, arguably one of their most significant decisions was to hire former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores as an assistant after he was let go following the 2021 season.
Flores, who is of course currently suing the NFL as well as several teams, believes that he has had his opportunities around the league suffer as a result of the lawsuit, which in and of itself has become a part of the lawsuit. While he was passed over for head-coaching positions, it was Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin who offered him to come on board.
