Report: 2 Additional Plaintiffs Will Join Former Dolphins HC Brian Flores' Lawsuit

Two more coaches are planning to join ex-Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores in a class-action lawsuit against the NFL and its 32 teams.

When Flores files an amended complaint on April 8 the plaintiffs will join the lawsuit, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The identities of those people have not been made public.

More context and information was added by Florio.

"The plaintiffs will alleging discriminatory bias in their failure to be hired for head-coaching jobs. The claims will include allegations aimed directly at the owners of the teams to be joined as defendants to the lawsuit. The two teams in question aren’t currently named as defendants by Flores, who has since become an assistant coach with the Steelers."

The lawsuit named the Dolphins, Giants and Broncos. The remaining 29 teams are lumped together in the lawsuit.

After the lawsuit is amended, two more teams will be named. They are not necessarily teams that brought on coaches during the coaching cycle.

Flores claimed in his lawsuit that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him $100,000 per loss in order to encourage tanking and get higher draft picks.

He said that the New York Giants chose Brian Daboll to be their head coach before hiring Flores for a second interview.

In addition, Flores said the Denver Broncos brought him in for an interview and that the team brass showed up late and hungover.

The Dolphins, Giants, and Broncos have all denied Flores claims.

Flores, who is Black, was one of five minority head coaches in the NFL in 2021, along with Washington's Ron Rivera, Houston's David Culley, Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin and the New York Jets' Robert Saleh.
