Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks and longtime NFL assistant Ray Horton have joined Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and several teams, according to an amended complaint filed Thursday.
In the complaint, Wilks claims he was unfairly fired by the Cardinals; Horton alleges the Tennessee Titans put him through a"sham" interview process.Flores filed his federal civil lawsuit in February against the NFL, the New York Giants, the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins organizations.Flores, now a Pittsburgh Steelers assistant after three years as the Dolphins head coach, praised the two men for adding their names to his lawsuit.
The Titans hired Mike Mularkey, who is White, who said in a 2020 podcast that it had been a"fake" hiring process, and he knew he had the job before other candidates were interviewed, according to the lawsuit. Horton left to become the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. Horton was last the defensive backs coach for the Washington Commanders during the 2019 season.
