I think Flores is correct that the Giants wanted Daboll all along, albeit not because he’s white, but because an offensive coach has a better chance of salvaging Daniel Jones. Flores overreacted to this rejection, fresh from losing his power player in Miami, where he was pushing to trade for Watson to replace Tua, who was the GM’s pick. Now Flores is reinforcing his reputation earned in Miami that he’s volatile and difficult to work with. Had he not filed the lawsuit to bully the NFL into hiring him, he might actually have the Texans job or another HC job in time.

This is what I said the day the suit was filed. He better be able to back up his allegations, because no team is going to want to bring in litigious coaches that are going to butt heads with GMs or ownership. There's plenty of other mediocre coaches out there who will play nice.

Here’s the reality of how that works, and it’s something that no one wants to hear or accept.  A lawsuit like the one Flores filed is only going to make white owners more hesitant to interview and hire minorities because of the potential liability if it doesn’t work out.  If people think that hasn’t happened and doesn’t continue to happen, they’re being very neive.

OR, you get a situation like the Texans where a minority candidate is hired due to optics rather than being the top candidate. Like I’ve said before, hiring Lovie instead of McCown was a blessing in disguise for the Texans because Lovie is far more qualified for the job. I doubt the Texans are racist, but I’m pretty sure they’re idiots.
