I think what he is saying is that he wants to scare off any would-be employers. He’s going full Colin Kapernick.

BTW, he was fired not because he couldn’t improve a team, but because he couldn’t keep any assistant coaches or work well with a highly drafted QB.

There are 2 black head coaches in the NFL.

Flores was “only” making $3m as HC, so his potential for a substantial cash flow increase via lawsuit settlement is pretty high.

Currently there is only one black coach in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.

Who is a very good coach. Also Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith were also good coaches with more success than Flores. Eight chead coaches were fired this off-season. Seven of them are white. Close to national stats.

““However, well intentioned or not, what is clear is that the Rooney Rule is not working,” the complaint reads.”

NO. It works. I thought the rule was to “interview”. I dont see anywhere on that rule to actually HIRE BLM coaches on the spot.

We do it in our company to avoid lawsuits. We pay our hispanic janitor to do the interviews on possible leftards because white woke lefty wimps here dont like anyone non-white.

Byron Leftwich would likely make a good head coach. He is a fine offensive coordinator with Tampa.

Sad. Flores showed some real talent and resilience as a Head Coach. Apparently he does have some rough spots that riled many people and ultimately caused him to lose his job at Miami. This lawsuit is just foolish. Agree that the Rooney rule is demeaning and patronizing but since implemented more than a few blacks have been hired as head coaches. If Flores were smart he would withdraw this suit, sit out for a while, reflect, bid his time and would soon coach again. He ought not have a silly tantrum and become another miserable Kaepernick.

This dope is filing a lawsuit against PROSPECTIVE employers after he's just been fired from a job that he never would have held in the first place if his allegations of racial discrimination had any merit.

Sounds to me like he never wants to hold a job in the NFL again.

My prediction:

1. The NFL (not the individual teams he is suing) settles out of court for a nominal sum of money.

2. This jackass takes a lifetime job as head coach at some historically black college that plays in some NCAA Division XVI conference for losers.

The NFL wasn't racist when it hired him because he is black.
The NFL is now racist when it won't hire him, because he is black.

70% of NFL players are black. 14% of the US population are black. Clearly, there has to be a moratorium on the hiring of black players, and serious recruitment in the white, Hispanic, and Asian communities./S

Most problematic issue will be allegation that he was offered $100k
per game to tank.
If I were him , I would assert that all day long

So he thinks b/c teams have to interview a black guy that more teams should have black coaches?

that’s blatantly faulty logic.

Just calling it how I see it, I agree with this. They have the Rooney rule where each team brings in a token interviewee then end up hiring the same crop of ‘whiter than I am’ coaches. Can’t understand why Eric Bieneme has not been hired.

If we’re lucky, maybe Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Snoop and the rest will boycott the BIG Game half time show in support.

The best players play, regardless of color or background. Why should coaches be hired any differently?

The problem with affirmative action is the mentally pigmented feel they should get jobs on the color of their skin, not on their ability to win games! Sorry Brian, you suck as a coach. If you can’t win, you can’t coach. There are a bunch of white coaches that got the same pink slip. They don’t whine. Most go to collage, high school or grade school coaching. Or maybe, just maybe you are a locker room cancer and have a bad rap. Eitherway grow up and stop being a pnssy!
