Pretty damning stuff if true:
I was a bit surprised when the Dolphins fired him after their strong finish to the season, winning I think it was 7 straight games and nearly making the playoffs.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/FBN-B ... d/1055063/According to the lawsuit, Miami 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.
The lawsuit alleged that Ross then pressured Flores to recruit a prominent quarterback in violation of the league’s tampering rules. When Flores refused, he was cast as the “angry Black man” who is difficult to work with and was derided until he was fired, the suit said.
