We likely may never see Brian Flores being a head coach in the National Football League again, but that is a risk he is willing to take.
The former Miami Dolphins head coach is suing the NFL and all 32 teams, alleging racial discrimination in the coach hiring process.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Flores alleges that Miami owner Stephen Ross got upset with him for being unwilling to meet with a promiment QB in the league in an attempt to facilitate a trade, which violated all kinds of NFL rules.
The lawsuit claims that after the 2019 season, Ross “began to pressure Mr. Flores to recruit a prominent quarterback in violation of League tampering rules.”
“In fact, Mr. Flores was ultimately terminated and subsequently defamed throughout the media,” the lawsuit says, “and the League as he was labeled by the Dolphins brass as someone who was difficult to work with. This is reflective of an all too familiar “angry black man” stigma that is often casted upon Black men who are strong in their morals and convictions while white men are coined as passionate.”
It appears that QB was not Deshaun Watson:

As part of the lawsuit, Flores included evidence that Bill Belichick mistakenly texted him days before his interview congratulating him on getting the job. Belichick believed he was texting Daboll.
“Sorry – I f–ked this up. I double checked and misread the text. I think they are naming Brian Daboll. I’m sorry about that. BB,” the text read.
