Brian Flores landed a new job with the Pittsburgh Steelers amid a lawsuit with the NFL alleging discrimination and system racism in the league’s hiring practices. The former Miami Dolphins coach seemed to be in danger of getting blackballed in the early days of the lawsuit. But he didn’t end up being out of work for long.
During an appearance on HBO’s “Real Sports” that will air on Tuesday night, Flores explained how he landed his new gig.
“It all happened very fast,” Flores said, via NESN.com. “I talked to Coach (Mike) Tomlin (last) Thursday. Little bit more conversation on Friday. Accepted the job on Friday evening.”
