Brian Flores says his lawsuit against the NFL over alleged racist hiring practices will continue even if he becomes a head coach again this offseason because the league needs change.
Flores has interviewed with the Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints for their coaching vacancies. If they call, Flores said he will listen, but the suit will go on.
According to the lawsuit, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross told Flores he would pay him $100,000 for every loss during the coach's first season because he wanted the club to"tank" so it could get the draft's top pick. Flores said he had conversations with general manager Chris Grier that Ross was upset that Miami was compromising its draft position by winning too many games. Flores said he also talked repeatedly with Ross, who said the team didn't need to win right then and the coach was under contract.Ross responded to the allegations in a statement:"I take great personal exception to these malicious attacks, and the truth must be known. His allegations are false, malicious and defamatory.
"It was humiliating to be quite honest," Flores said."There was disbelief, there was anger, there was a wave of emotion for a lot of reasons. I think this is why we filed the lawsuit."
