But it is better in the long run that he did. The measured moderate approach never makes real change. His legal action has a much better chance. Gets everyone thinking and talking to start and fingers crossed that actions follow. Reminds me of Curt Flood and the reserve clause litigation in MLB. Suit failed but change happened.
The dude is suing the giants bc a text from belicheck, he is suing the Texans for hiring another minority coach, he is suing the dolphins for racism when it is one of the most diverse organizations in the league. The league should have more minority head coaches but he is not the best headliner for this cause. If he loses his job I’m sure the Steelers will be included in the lawsuit, hence why I am saying hiring him for a minimal role isn’t worth the headache imo.
The Steelers are not going to be a good team next year no QB, no oline, no secondary, not much cap. Not sure how me saying they will not be good next year and I think the dolphins will beat them is ignorant, but that word gets thrown around a lot without really understanding what it means.
Before Ross shafted him, did he have a history of claiming racism any time things didn't go his way?
He has said in the past he has had guns drawn on him by police so there’s that. Don’t know the details.
How did Ross shaft him? Ross is a lot of things but if you think he is racist your dumber than a rock. Ross has multiple black men in prolific positions within the organization and just hired another minority as head coach. Flores was fired for multiple things and non of them had to do with race. Communication, abrasiveness with players and coaches, not being able to put together a competent offensive staff, in game decision making, record vs good teams, and his overall record was about the same as gase and philbin who were also fired. Flores has sour grapes with the dolphins for firing him(although there was plenty of cause outside of his mid record) and is the only reason he included Miami in a class action suit about racism.
There are plenty of people who've had that happen to them, including myself.
I think Ross is a good owner when It comes to providing the team all the necessary resources to win(like salary, new training facility, etc) and he also used his own money to renovate HR stadium or we would still be baking in the sun with no awning. I think Ross is a bad owner in choosing his alma mater in Michigan and not interviewing harbough, doing construction during the season last year, and staying loyal to Grier and tannenbaum for way too long. Rumors are if he is forced to sell Brady will purchase a small share of the team with Bruce Beal being the primary owner. Not the biggest Brady fan but think he could only bring good things to the organization.
The only thing that makes me dumber than a rock is responding to you.
That is not why Flores was fired. He would have been fired after his first year if that was the case. You are taking Flores word as the gospel and with his recent actions I don’t think that is the smartest move. Flores was fired for multiple as I listed below.
Flores whole class action suit is about minority’s not being in position of power within nfl organizations. It is very relevant that Ross has a black GM(plus a couple other prominent positions in the front office) and his last two coaches have been minorities. He is clearly hiring who he thinks will make the team better based on nothing other than merit and doesn’t let race play into his decision.
It sounds like you're taking Ross' word as gospel. Outside of the HRS renovations, he's done exactly jack**** for the team. Hire & fire head coach, hire & fire quarterback, repeat. he's owned the Dolphins since 2009. What has improved?
Bc a belicheck text said I think you have a good shot Brian? That isn’t evidence of anything plus daboll was a very coveted coach. The Rooney rule is BS and it is something that can get teams into a bad spot if they already have a coach in mind who they want to hire.
Did I not say he has hired bad people to run his organization(GM and coaches)? Did I not say I think grier should have been fired? The only reason I like Ross is bc he will spend his money with no hesitation which cannot be said about every owner. Ask Marlins fans about Jeffery loria. I have no clue if Ross actually offered Flores money to tank, but I just don’t think that has anything to do with Flores being fired and I don’t think it has anything to do with racism which is what Flores whole lawsuit is about.
I think rooney rule is more of an insult. Why would a minority coach want to even interview just to fill the nfls quota when they know someone else will get job
I agree, gotta be a better way than that to get more minorities into those premium positions. I like that teams who lose a minority employee to head coach or GM get 2 3rd round picks. It’s a move that incentivizes developing more minorities.

Flores is suing the dolphins for racial discrimination in their hiring practices. If They have a lot of black employees, I’d say that is much better evidence than what Flores has provided. Firing Flores and not hiring him for an open job doesn’t constitute racism, and he seems to think that it does. Also when was the last time Flores was fired? He hadn't in his entire 14 year nfl career u til the dolphins did so I don’t see any adversity he faced that would create a situation where he thought he was wronged. First time, and a lawsuit follows
