Earlier this year, former Dolphins head coach and current Steelers senior defensive assistant Brian Flores filed a bombshell lawsuit against the Giants and the NFL, alleging racism in hiring practices. Flores was a candidate for the Giants’ once-vacant head coaching position, a role that eventually went to Brian Daboll.
Flores claims the Giants only interviewed him to comply with the Rooney Rule, which states teams seeking out a new head coach must interview/consider at least one minority candidate. The former Miami HC additionally has alleged texts from Bill Belichick to back up his claim.
