Report: Multiple coaches join Brian Flores lawsuit implicating additional NFL teams

Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL just acquired more plaintiffs to his case. According to ESPN reporter for the Pittsburgh Steelers Brooke Pryor, Two other coaches are joining the lawsuit, which is expected to implicate two more teams.

Flores filed his lawsuit against the NFL on Feb. 1. It alleges discrimination in interview processes this offseason with the Giants and Broncos. The hiring practices of those teams, in conjunction with questionable behavior displayed by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, created grounds for Flores to push legal action. Now, that lawsuit will grow in the number of plaintiffs listed on it.

” Two other coaches are expected to join Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the league, a source familiar with the situation tells me. Two other teams are expected to be implicated, extending all the way up to the ownership level, per source,” wrote Pryor via Twitter.

According to the lawsuit, Flores claims that the New York Giants proceeded with his interview in an attempt to satisfy the NFL’s Rooney Rule before officially naming the coach they already agreed to a deal with previously.

As of now, the other two parties have yet to be named.

Flores lawyer provides update on race discrimination lawsuit

Former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores moved forward with his lawsuit against the NFL. His attorney confirmed in a statement that the coach is still focused on seeking justice for the discrimination he faced within the league, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.

Flores was hired Saturday as the defensive analyst and linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will succeed defensive analyst Teryl Austin, who was promoted to defensive coordinator. But even with his new responsibilities, he isn’t losing focus of what’s important.

“We congratulate coach Flores on his new position with the Steelers and thank coach Tomlin and the organization for giving him this great opportunity,” Flores’ attorney said. “While Coach Flores is now focused on his new position, he will continue with his race discrimination class action so that real change can be made in the NFL.”
