I think the league has a real problem with minority representation at all levels. Black coaches are given a much shorter leash and are required to have more success to maintain job security. The Rooney rule may not be the best solution, but you can't just waive it away. The sport is and has been dominated by BIPOC for quite some time, but the executives continue to be oddly pale. Until you have a better replacement other than "JuSt HiRe ThE bEsT cAnDiDaTe" it is the only real tool in the tool box.
Flores may very well be right here and I am probably side with him.
But in court this will be a tough one. Unless Schoen put in writing somewhere that they wanted to give multiple interviews to Flores and Frazier in order to give the perception of fairness, he will have a tough time winning this. If Schoen did put it in writing his career as a GM is over before it started.
I view things like this sort of like redlining. It is most certainly illegal. And it most certainly continues to happen. But the burden of proof needed to prosecute is so astronomically high/avoidable by companies/lenders that it is really difficult to move on legally.I'd like to see some stats on the bolded. Hue Jackson had 2 1/2 years. Bowles had 4 years.

The key question to me is would Flores have filed the lawsuit had he been offered the HC job with the Giants. If the answer is no, then you know the
lawsuit is about him and not blatant discrimination across the NFL.

Fitz magic usually last a few games.. besides that, he wasn’t in Miami for year one where Flores won 5 games at the end of the season with a JV Team.
Fitz was the QB during the 5-4 run at then end of the 2019 season when Ross asked Flores to tank games for 100K.

IF the text from BB was 3 days before Flores was to interview, at best it was a violation of the Rooney rule.. I am more concerned with the allegations he levied against the Dolphins Owner.
His word against Ross - no way Ross went to Fitz and asked him to tank games.

For the golf enthusiasts, Josh has a pretty good swing.

No, it would actually be an even worse problem for the NFL.
That being throwing games.
If it could be proven players were actually throwing games - otherwise, the NFL can deal with tanking just as the NHL did - draft lottery for the top n picks.

This isn't about not getting a head coaching job - how completely un self aware does he have to be to think he wasn't going to get another HC job very soon?
He wasn't getting the job HE wanted.
That's what this reads like to me. So he wants to burn it all down take as many down with him then become some sort of freaking martyr if never gets hired again. This is a vendetta - and its pathetic because the system (Rooney rule) was expanded and is working.
Sorry not sorry I've just never liked this guy.
Did Ross pay him? I don't know. Who said Tua over Herbert? I don't believe anything that clown organization says.
This 100% ... Flores thought he was going to the Giants and bringing Deshaun with him.

How did Belichick know Daboll was the man for the Giants ? Mara call him for a reference ?

The Giants hired the Bills Asst GM (who has absolutely no ties to Brian Flores). And then the Bills Asst GM hires the Bills OC. Wow, shocker. I wouldn't be surprised if they were already decided on Daboll and that's why they went with Schoen. They want to be the Bills and they want Daniel Jones to be Allen, who wouldn't? Flores should have saved his race card and not used it up on this one. Just because a new GM brings in his guy doesn't mean it has anything to do with racism. It was the Bills package deal they were looking for.
Will be interesting to see if the teams with vacant HC positions still consider him

If Flores was so upset about the 100K tanking offer and the supposed yacht meeting with Brady, why did he not resign at either time and alert the NFL ?

Flores is dragging a lot of people into this and airing a lot of dirty laundry and personal communications.
No bueno for his career going forward.
Makes me wonder if Flores was already blacklisted prior to the lawsuit ...

I amended my previous statement based on that.
It might come down to who a jury believes ... did Ross really offer $100K per game to throw them and then try and tamper with Brady ? Or will the jury hear that Flores is a disgruntled coach who was fired after a 9-8 season and didn't support the franchise QB ? Ross has deep pockets ...

And Ross is definitely going to get forced out.
Still Flores word against Ross and unproven

Quite obviously, sexy and dumb as a bird. And I'm not talking about Zimmer.
Not so fast - her IG page says she has a Northwestern MBA.

I'm impressed ... that's more books than I've read in my lifetime.
"Mitekin told Maxim that her parents were immigrants from Yugoslavia, and that she has read over 100 books in the past year."

Who said anything about giving them the ball at the 40? No one said kick it out of bounds
Referring to your post and what Jay Feely said ...

Weird bounce, home run throw back, laterals, personal fouls etc... that kind of weird crap
I get that, but giving the Chiefs the ball at the 40 with 13 secs and timeouts ? 25 yards to Buttner range ...

Sal C spoke with Jay Feely at the game and Jay told him he would kick it out of bounds as too many weird things can happen on the kickoff.
He also mentioned that during the year the CBs are told to guard the sideline and don't get beat there. He felt that Levi simply reverted to what he was tight and hammered into his head. This also could be part of the execution that was missed according to McD
Out of bounds ? And give it to them at the 40 ?

What do you think about Pickett to the Falcons @ 8 ? Ryan will be 37 this year and their current backups are not the answer.

I love Fitz, and lead the bandwagon to get him into the HoF. But I don't want him anywhere near Josh with his backup curse. He can sign a 1-day contract to retire as a Bill, but that's it.
For backup QB, I'd follow the Trubisky model. Keep finding those 1st round picks that were mishandled by the team that drafted them, and bring them in for 1 year.
Next year is Darnold (who is good friends with Josh), year after maybe Daniel Jones, year after that Trey Lance, etc...
It would poetic justice to sign Josh Rosen as Josh's backup.

This is true but consider this... he repeated the same 82 catches as last year but instead had 693 years compared to 967 the year prior, he was down to 8.5 YPC the lowest of his career. He is still sure handed with a 73% catch rate, but he had 0 broken tackles this year.
Like I said, I love the guy, but at 32 years old this year and going to be 33 next year, I don't see him getting any more spry unless he was playing injured which is a possibility. I actually think Diggs was playing hurt this year but that's a different topic.
I like him, but his age and athletic slide is real. His contract isn't bad but I think if he's back it is on a restructure because we can save a lot of money moving on and we have no cap space.
Release him and watch Belichick snap him up for noodle arm.

I hope you are right, but honestly, I do NOT think Frazier will end up a HC and I do NOT think McDermott will effectively fire him this off-season.
I'd be surprised if he isn't here next year.
If he is GONE, I'd be surprised that McDermott was that proactive, but I'd love the surprise.I disagree ... there are nine openings as of this morning and despite the playoff loss, his defense was highly regarded. Remains to be seen how much he playoff loss damaged his rep.

13 and 15 were the deep men
Hill was not on the field.
Bass kicked it too far - I just watched it again. I'm pretty convinced he f...ed up
16:00 mark
Pringle was the deep man - 15 is Mahomes.
The higher shorter kick to the 5-15 was probably the best play but who knows what Bass was told and by whom.

Brian Flores suing NFL, NY Giants, Dolphins, Broncos.

Jackson should be able to produce financial proof to back up his claims since he was actually paid.
