In it he accuses Dolphins owners Stephen Ross of offering him $100,000 for every loss in an effort to tank for the No. 1 draft pick during the 2019 NFL season and includes texts he alleges are from New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick demonstrating that the Giants conducted an interview with Flores while knowing that they already intended to hire Brian Daboll as head coach.

The suit alleges that the Giants interviewed Flores simply to satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule mandate requiring that teams interview minority candidates.

I'm not an attorney but it seems that neither of these is the basis for a lawsuit.

OTOH, Flores just guaranteed he will never be hired again in the NFL. Plenty of other black head coaches have been fired - Romeo Crennel, Anthony Lynn, Ray Rhodes, Mike Singletary to name a few - and no one ever brought a lawsuit.

I would further add that as the head coach, you work for the owner and the owner alone. He can fire you at any time and for any reason - even if he just doesn’t like your socks. Jerry Jones fired Jimmy Johnson after he won two Super Bowls.
