Steve Wilks, an assistant for the Panthers, kept it brief with reporters Wednesday when asked why he joined former Dolphins coach Brian Flores’s racial discrimination lawsuit in April.
“I’m all about change,” Wilks said. “And, I’ll leave it at that.”
On Feb. 1, Flores, who is currently a Steelers assistant, filed a lawsuit against the league, three of its teams–the Giants, the Broncos and the Dolphins—and 29 “John Doe” teams, accusing the NFL of racial discrimination within its hiring practices. Currently, there are six minority head coaches in the NFL, a league predominantly composed of Black players.
