Brian Flores, the former Miami Dolphins coach who is suing the N.F.L. and its 32 teams alleging discriminatory hiring practices toward Black candidates, was hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a senior defensive assistant/linebackers coach, the team announced on Saturday.
“I am excited about Brian Flores joining our coaching staff given his history of developing and teaching defensive players during his time in the N.F.L.,” Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin said in a team release. “Brian’s résumé speaks for itself, and I look forward to him adding his expertise to help our team.”
Flores was fired by the Dolphins in January, after leading the team to a 24-25 record in three seasons.
