Brian Flores filed an explosive lawsuit seeking class-action status on Tuesday, alleging racist hiring practices by the NFL. His former team—the Dolphins—along with the Giants and Broncos are also named in the suit.
Flores was reportedly a finalist for the opening in New York this offseason, just weeks after his controversial firing by Miami. The team ultimately opted to hire Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who like Flores is a former Bill Belichick assistant.
In the lawsuit, submitted by Wigdor LLC to the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, Flores says that Belichick accidentally let him know that the Giants had already chosen Daboll, three days before Flores was set to interview for the position.
