Pittsburgh Steelers’ Willingness To Hire Brian Flores Not A Surprise
The hiring comes less than three weeks after Flores, who is Black, sued the NFL and three teams over alleged racist hiring practices following his dismissal by Miami.
Brian Flores, the former Miami Dolphins head coach who filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, has been hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an assistant coach.
Earlier this month, the former Dolphins head coach sued the NFL alleging racial discrimination in the hiring of coaches, saying the league is “rife with racism” and “lives in a time of the past.”
The former Dolphins head coach who has accused the league and its 32 teams of discriminatory hiring practices against Black coaches will join the Steelers as a senior defensive assistant linebackers coach.
Flores' lawsuit alleging racial discrimination by the NFL will continue, his attorneys say. In Pittsburgh, Flores will join a staff led by the NFL's only Black head coach, Mike Tomlin.
It was not surprisingly the Pittsburgh Steelers hired Brian Flores as a senior defensive assistant despite him suing the NFL and three teams over alleged racist hiring practice.
