Former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores has come forward in media appearances to reflect upon and give additional information on his discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and the New York Giants, among others.
Among the many topics he covered, including his drive to promote “equal opportunity for qualified black candidates, not just in football but in all industries,” Flores discussed the text message exchange with New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick that is at the center of the lawsuit.
In a misunderstanding, Belichick accidentally revealed the Giants intended to hire former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll before they’d even interviewed Flores, thereby indicating that interview was a sham and an empty effort to appease the NFL’s Rooney Rule, designed to encourage diversity hires within the league.
