Brian Flores still interested in coaching the Texans despite lawsuit

Former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores is still interested in coaching the Houston Texans despite his pending litigation against the NFL.

Former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores is a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit wherein he alleges the NFL has racist hiring practices.

Although the lawsuit seems to be going scorched Earth against the NFL and it would appear Flores has bigger goals in mind than to lead a football team, the 40-year-old expressed interest on Wednesday in coaching either the Houston Texans or the New Orleans Saints, two clubs he has interviewed with.

“I’m still very interested in coaching and leading either one of those teams,” Flores said on ESPN via Matt Young of the Houston Chronicle.

Flores has a connection with the Texans in general manager Nick Caserio, who worked in a variety of capacities in the scouting department and coaching staff from 2001-20 with his most recent post as the director of player personnel from 2008 until the end of his tenure. Flores was also in the organization in similar roles from 2004-18 until taking the job with the Dolphins.
