Fired Miami Dolphins coach says blah, blah, blah, “that’s racist” and sues the NFL to make sure their chickens come home to roost.
That’s a bad move on his part. He’s still a viable candidate for a HC position but now other owners are going to have red flags about him.
Maybe the owner of the Miami Dolphins had a legitimate beef about him.
How many NFL teams would love to have Mike Tomlin as their HC?
Enough with the skin color victimhood.
There is alot more to that case than just the race angle. He’s claiming the owner Ross offered him $100k per tanked game, something I’m sure a few gamblers would be interested to know. Also tried to get him to break rules around meeting with a QB on another team. He has texts from the top coach in the league saying Daboll was hired before he was interviewed. They playoffs have been thrilling this year with ratings through the roof and he hits Goodell with this stuff at the beginning of the two week Super Bowl media window. This will get crazy.
But the players are wearing stocking hats with social justice messages and they are painted in the end zone.
How can this happen?
Just found this from AP:
According to the lawsuit, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross told Flores he would pay him $100,000 for every loss during the coach’s first season because he wanted the club to “tank” so it could get the draft’s top pick.
The lawsuit alleged that Ross then pressured Flores to recruit a prominent quarterback in violation of the league’s tampering rules. When Flores refused, he was cast as the “angry Black man” who is difficult to work with and was derided until he was fired, the suit said.
Very likely the QB was Brady.

Winning 5 games cost them 4 positions in the draft. The Bengals were 2 and 14. They could have gotten Joe Burrow.
# (Media off-mic): That’s what we wanted all along. We failed to end football with our BS concussion “scandal”. So we tricked the fans into hating the NFL by giving a few loyal Democrat voting players their 15 minutes of fame. We win!
i don’t care how it dies. Anything that will get people to stop caring about grown men playing a chilren’s game works for me.
