According to Katherine Terrell at The Athletic:

quote:

Brian Flores said he sent messages to the Saints and Texans prior to filing the lawsuit letting them know that would happen, but that he would still love to lead an NFL team. Flores interviewed with the Saints yesterday.


Katherine Terrell Twitter.

Very very interesting.

What does this change? If he thinks he’s going to sue teams that turned him down and then turn around and continue as a HC in the NFL, then he’s an even bigger idiot than I thought.

frick him.

"Yeah, I'm suing the Dolphins for firing me and the Giants for not hiring me, but I would love to work for you!"

Dude messed that one up.

This is basically doing to those teams what he's suing the Giants for doing to him.

Outside looking in, looks like a bit of leverage against those teams too.

What is worse in today's absurd society than being labeled a "cist or "phobe?

Great point. Flores is attempting to strong arm his way to a HC position through intimidation.

Whether or not we agree with his methods there does seem to be a few positives to hire the guy.

He is and will be very popular among players. Should be able to get many guys to come and play for him.

My first choice is Allen. But to tell you the truth im not sure if he has the personality to be a HC.

Or Kaepernick his way into a payday that guarantees he never has to work another day in his life.

I think he believes he’ll get the payout and another job. Based on his comments, he thinks being black is ultimate qualifier for coaching in the NFL.

That is not at all what this means. Honestly if I was the teams I would appreciate knowing this is happening just to be ahead of the media perception of the fact that you're interviewing him. The Saints still went to dinner with him and then still had the interview, and we haven't even interviewed our frontrunner yet. We handled this perfectly and won't be in the crosshairs of his lawsuit even if we don't select him.

You're reaching super fricking hard.

He won't be a head coach again.

Might get a Nike deal though.

You think they had a choice? The Rooney Rule demands it.

He’s suing the NYG because he felt disrespected

Not if they were also planning to interview Aaron Glenn.

Whom, by the way, I think I would much rather see as Saints HC than Flores, anyway.

The odd thing is that I could see Gayle pushing to hire this guy to show everyone that she supports the BLMs and SayHerNames. "We hired a black guy that was being racially discriminated! Faubourg Beers for EVERYONE!"

I thought teams were required to interview at least two minority candidates for “top” positions(GM, executive, HC).

"Oh, and by the way, just so you know...I'm suing the teams that have fired me and aren't hiring me. But hey, no pressure."

What a dipshit.
