Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL on Tuesday along with three franchises: the Broncos, Dolphins and Giants. Flores noted experiences with the three teams in his class-action, alleging racist hiring practices within the league.
Flores coached the Dolphins from 2019-21 before being fired after this season. He then interviewed with the Giants, after which he discovered the team already planned to hire Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Flores says this was not his first “sham” interview, where a team had no intention of giving him the head-coach position. He cites a story from 2019 in his lawsuit, when he spoke with John Elway and the Broncos.
