Brian Flores rebounds to Pittsburgh as defensive assistant

Fired by the Dolphins at the end of the 2021 campaign, Brian Flores has since multiplied interviews for vacant head coaching positions (Giants, Bears, Texans and Saints). Without success. Saturday night, he finally found a new base in the Pittsburgh staff. Through a press release, the Steelers announced his hiring as a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach. An arrival which delights Mike Tomlin, affirming that his experience will help the team to progress.

“I am excited to have Brian Flores join our coaching staff, given his experience developing and teaching defensive players during his NFL career,” Mike Tomlin said in a statement. “Brian’s Resume [Flores] speaks for itself, and I look forward to him adding his expertise to help our team. “

Between 2016 and 2018, Flores previously served as the linebackers coach at the Patriots, and was recognized for his work with the defense, before joining the Dolphins in 2019. Following his departure from Florida, he filed a lawsuit against the NFL and three teams – the Dolphins, Giants and Broncos – alleging racial discrimination in hiring practices. A lawsuit he plans to pursue.

“We congratulate Coach Flores on his new position with the Steelers and thank Coach Tomlin and the organization for giving him this great opportunity,” Flores’ attorney said in a statement obtained by CBS. “While Coach Flores is now focused on his new position, he will continue his racial discrimination class action so that real change can take place in the NFL. “

Chance of the calendar, Pittsburgh and Miami will meet in the regular season during the next fiscal year.
