Just a few hours after Tom Brady announced his retirement, the next bombshell hit the NFL newswire. Brian Flores, the former Miami Dolphins head coach who was fired in January, filed a discrimination lawsuit against the league and its 32 franchises alleging them of racist hiring practices.
At the core of the lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, is the New York Giants’ interview process while looking for a new head coach. The Giants interviewed multiple candidates for the job, with Flores among them. Despite his qualifications and experience he did not get hired, however.
