NEW YORK — The Giants denied the allegations in ex-Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL in a statement released Thursday evening.
Flores claimed he had several “sham” interviews for head coach jobs, including with the Giants, after he was fired from the Dolphins in January. He claims he was only interviewed for those jobs so the teams could fulfill Rooney Rule requirements that minority candidates be interviewed and was never seriously considered for those open positions.
“Brian Flores has raised serious issues in the filing of his complaint. The specific claims against the Giants and Mr. Flores’ allegations about the legitimacy of his candidacy for our head coach position are disturbing and simply false,” the team said.
