Rams assistant not optimistic Brian Flores lawsuit will help Black coaching candidates

LOS ANGELES — Two years after joining coach Sean McVay's staff, Rams assistant Thomas Brown interviewed in January to become the Miami Dolphins head coach.

"If you had told me two years ago that I had a chance to interview for a head job I would have told you you're probably on drugs and probably should go to rehab," Brown said Wednesday during a videoconference with reporters. "But it was a great opportunity, a great experience for me."

Brown, the Rams assistant head coach, appears on track for more opportunities. After coaching running backs in 2020 and 2021, Brown will coach tight ends this season, a move that will build his resume and ostensibly make him a candidate for offensive coordinator positions that could lead to a head coaching job.
