Flores will now re-join the NFL payroll as he proceeds with his case
Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL just took a surprising turn as the Pittsburgh Steelers announced Saturday that the former Miami Dolphins head coach is joining their staff. For the 2022 season, Flores will begin working with the Steelers as the senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach.
Flores’ history in the NFL, however, has become the basis of a high-profile lawsuit filed earlier this month against the League, the New York Giants, the Miami Dolphins, and the Denver Broncos. The complaint alleges that in both hiring and firing tactics, the organization discriminates against Black coaches.
The lawsuit also contains screengrabs of text messages Belichick sent to Flores, thinking he had texted Brian Daboll.“Did you hear something I didn’t hear?” Flores replied.“I interview on Thursday,” Flores texted. “I think I have a shot at it.” “Sorry—I f*cked this up,” Belichick replied. “I double checked & I misread the text. I think they are naming Daboll. I’m sorry about that. BB.”
