Brian Flores

[Edward Sargent]

Biting the hand that feeds you I'd say!

 

[Hi-Low]

Is he a 2023 Uconn recruit?

 

[imno1]

He's got a legit gripe

 

[Hi-Low]

Giants already hired new coach unofficially before they interviewed Flores so not sure if racism but certainly not cool. Giants can't do anything right anymore.

 

[Scoe]

Jim Mora should hire him as D coordinator.

not really. as far as the fins are concerned it's the hand that fed* him. as far as the giants are concerned it's the empty hand that pretended to want to feed him.

As soon as Schoen was hired, here is the problem with the Rooney, now the Giants were dumb enough to let the news leave the room.

Flores is a good coach and should be a HC somewhere, but as a bettor I'm more concerned with the Dolphins owner trying to pay Flores $100k to fix the games. Isn't that a felony?? Vegas cannot be too happy to hear about that.

 

[LIuconn]

Tilted playing field. It’s too bad

By far the least concerning allegations in the complaint involve the Giants. If found true Miami will be looking for a new owner.

I was surprised they interviewed him in the first place. He was fired from Dolphins for not being on the "same page " with the GM and QB so why would a brand new GM stick his neck out? Would you?

Agreed

Maybe but doing a sham interview after you have already offered the job to someone else is pretty pathetic. As a Giants fan I would have preferred Flores myself.

What did they do wrong? Rooney rule requires them to interview minority candidates. They did that. So what if Daboll
Was the favorite. Giants hired Jerry Reese 12 years ago to be GM. Explain that

Nothing forced Flores to go interview. Maybe if he did a better job explaining why he couldn’t get along in Miami he would have a job.

Im sooo glad the Giants hired Daboll

Which is why the Rooney Rule, while it has good intentions, is almost insulting.

Glad to see your happy, Giant’s will continue to suck.

You're supposed to interview candidates before you make a hire not after. Flores didn't get an interview for a job, they wasted his time.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Flores is pointing out what absolutely everybody already knew: most teams are not following the Rooney rule in good faith. He is 100% correct on that.

100%. I wonder what the road to hell is paved with btw. The Rooney rule is insulting.

Daboll was hired on Friday. Flores was interviewed on Thursday. The text, the only evidence, did not say a hire had been made. He wants it to, but it did not. If you think employers do not have a favorite but interview other candidates in all walks of life you are mistaken. Also, Flores was 100% a real candidate for the Giants.

The not being on the same page part was Flores refusing to tank and cheat.

 

[B1GEast]

Wonder if Belichek intentionally made a mistake by sending that text.

The commish will have to deal with the Rooney rule and an owner trying to throw games.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I support him 100%.

One black head coach in the entire NFL? Tomlin goes to the playoffs pretty much every year, yet most Steelers fans call for his firing every year. How many years have we heard Bienemy deserved a shot? Flores won 8 of last 9 games and got fired. He was the public's pick for the Giants job in every poll I saw, and who got it?

I feel that it's so much harder for a Black coach to get a head coaching job and once they get one (as few and far between as they are) they're held to a different standard for success.

 

[HooperScooper]

He's talking about the NFL in general.

 

[Hi-Low]

Also, Flores was 100% a real candidate for the Giants.

About as much as Michael Scott was a real candidate for Corporate job at Dunder Mifflin.
