Brian Flores, the former Miami Dolphins head coach who filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, has been hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an assistant coach.
"We have named Brian Flores as our senior defensive assistant/linebackers" coach, the Steelers said Saturday in a tweet announcing his hiring on the staff of head coach Mike Tomlin.
Tomlin is one of two Black head coaches in the NFL. The other is Lovie Smith of the Houston Texans. Mike McDaniel, who is multiracial, replaced Flores as head coach of the Dolphins after Flores was fired last month.
