re: Brian Flores is suing NFL, NY Giants

All of the allegations in that excerpt could be true and it wouldn’t be a firing sue to race. It would be firing because he had ethics. Unfortunately, that’s not against the law. He may have other, better, allegations against the Dolphins.

Yeah, right now this suit seems flimsy to me. But maybe a lot more comes out. It's highly likely the NFL will just pay him off to go away.

You mean to tell me a rule they set up requiring teams to give out token bullshite interviews caused teams to give out token bullshite interviews?


MUH shocked face

Very curious on how the Flores hire at Miami went down. Pretty sure he was the first interview, with Bieniemy being the 2nd. By all appearances, they then fake interviewed other candidates just waiting for Flores season to end. And ultimately hired him the day after the Patriots won the Super Bowl.

I wonder if Miami told him he had the job after his interview, before they interviewed Bieniemy or any of the white candidates they interviewed after him. Because it seems like both teams had their man after one interview.

There has to be more Flores was in line for another job. There is no way he just tossed his career away on a whim.

Mike Tomlin could literally murder one of his players and not get fired right about now.

He noted that Flores reached out to the firm on the same day he received the Belichick text message.

He still went to in person interview after he had already contacted a law firm to start a lawsuit which would include not getting the job he was about to interview for with new GM (had done a zoom call before guy from Buffalo hired as GM).

Did he interview in good faith at that point or was he trying to not impress enough to still get job and/or change anyone’s mind to push lawsuit? Did he have the balls to bring it up in interview?

I am sure people have favorites before interviews are finished as well as candidates hearing info from 3rd parties that someone else is favorite. Once they hired Buffalo’s assistant GM as their GM it would be easy to think Buffalo’s offensive coordinator had an inside track. Even Flores seemed to suspect Bill texted the wrong Brian after GM hire.

If agreement made before in person interview with Flores and if Flores was only black interview it’s more of a problem for NY not following NFL’s policy than racism. The Denver part seems weak, and Miami wanting to lose in 2019 for draft purposes or attempt to recruit before free agency period isn’t new or specific to black coaches.

Sorry Brian hiring offensive coordinator from a hot offense into playoffs is pretty common especially from a team with a defensive minded head coach. Throw in new GM hired from same team as offensive coordinator, and it’s a joke they are forced to interview anyone else regardless of race. Hiring a non-defensive coordinator from a team with a defensive minded head coach is not so common, and you didn’t complain 3 years ago when you got that special treatment and a head coaching job for 3 years out of it.

Doesn't matter. Flores and his lawyer were just on the CBS morning show and guess which side the media is going to take?

Get ready to bend over NFL.

That interview was bad they really don’t have shite. Someone convinced him that Ross being a POS meant that he was racist. If they don’t have more than statistics and the Daboll being hired this will be dismissed in a hurry.

Dude got some terrible advice.

In all fairness, him getting fired was a bit of a head scratcher.

I agree. But the fact that he is now suing the league and specific teams that did not hire him may give a bit on insight as to why he was fired when objectively there seemed to be no basis to do so. There were discussions that he and management did not see eye to eye. Flores could have been ABSOLUTELY RIGHT in his approach as to how the organization should operate...but he doesn't own the team. So if the owner of the team has a different viewpoint you either have to accept it or move on. No different than any other employee. Suing the league seems to suggest he was willing to be obstinate towards management. NO owner in the league is going to want to hire a coach who is going to defy the owner. That is just common sense.

But ultimately, the who racism narrative is complete BS created by race-profiteers and the pathetic media. The NFL is a completely results based game. Teams would hire a Chinese woman if it would guarantee them multiple Super Bowls. And basically what you have is a complete double standard.

Case in point:

Every year for the last 5 years or so we have to listen to pissing and moaning when Eric Bieniemy doesn't get a HC job. Outrage because he is the "OC" for a team that has had one of the best offenses in the league for multiple years. But where is the outrage that Pete Carmichael for the Saints hasn't gotten a HC job? He's been the Saints OC for 13 years!!! Many of those year the Saints had one of if not the best offenses in the NFL. So why hasn't Pete gotten a job?

Perhaps it is the same reason Bieniemy hasn't. Because even though both have the "OC" title, the HC has always been the primary play caller. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with concern that the guy you are considering hiring may not be the actual engine that powers the ship.
