Rooney Rule is not to guarantee a Black head coach.

With the allegation that the owner offered him 100K a game to tank, does that perception of him not getting along with staff have any merit? IF the allegation is true, ownership could very well have just leaked that because they were pissed he didn’t tank

The Rooney Rule shouldn't exist at all. Interview whoever you want or don't interview them. At the end of the day wins and losses are all that matters

It was set up so these teams would interview Black guys so that NFL front offices would see guys that they were not interviewing before the Rooney Rule.

The rule is for ethnic minorities, not just black people.

Also, why do you keep capitalizing black? Do you do that with white?

But he just completed 2 consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 2003. So clearly, that’s not all that matters.

It's been mentioned plenty that there were issues between him and the organization. Winning doesn't cure everything and only stupid people truly believe that.

Is that because he refused to tank the season?

Brian Flores was his own problem.

Your are correct in the subject line, but then spin it any way you want. What happened to him, or ANY CANDIDATE, with the NYG interview process/selection was BS.
Candid (mistaken ID) congratulatory text from CBB is clear the decision IRT selecting a HC was completed days before Flores had his in-person interview.

Can't speak to his claims at Miami or Denver, but IRT Denver it would not surprise me. Elway has been a below average GM. Claims in Miami are serious and should be investigated.

Flores finished the season winning 8 out of 9, including beating the PATS in a meaningful game. He fielded a physical/fast DEF and subpar OFF due to personnel (AKA no QB, like our team). It's evident the guy did not lose his players and they rallied around his message and style as the season unfolded.
Just saying - seems he would be qualified to be a HC in the NFL.

These teams have targets that if they come in and interview they get the job. All the other interviews are a formality. Daboll was New York's target, and Flores was not. He is really reaching on the racism claim on this one. There's no proof other than speculation and stats on hiring over the years. Flores would literally have to have find someone to say "yeah the owner said 'I'm not hiring a black guy'" to have any case.

This is exactly right. And, Flores got a job. And, he was now a pretty consistent candidate for future jobs.

Yet, Flores decided to take the system and try to sue anyway. He's blaming the system that, at least for him, worked and worked well.

Victimhood is a mentality. And, now it is an industry.
