Prior to becoming head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2019, Brian Flores was a longtime defensive assistant under Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots. Whatever relationship Flores has with Belichick will be put to the test amid Flores' lawsuit against the NFL.
Flores, who was fired by the Dolphins last month despite back-to-back winning seasons, levied more allegations against Belichick and the New York Giants on Thursday.
In the lawsuit he filed Tuesday, Flores contends that he found out that the Giants planned on hiring Brian Daboll as head coach days before his interview because of congratulatory text messages he received from Belichick.
