Brian Flores' lawyers claim Texans didn't hire him due to NFL lawsuit

Lawyers for former NFL head coach Brian Flores had a few things to say after the Houston Texans announced the hiring of Lovie Smith to fill their vacant head coach position on Monday.

Flores is currently suing the NFL (and three specific teams) for discriminatory hiring practices. The lawsuit was filed less than a week after Flores was subjected to an alleged "sham" interview with the New York Giants, and less than a month after the Miami Dolphins shockingly fired Flores after a great 9-8 season that ended with eight wins in their final nine games.
