Stephen Ross offered Brian Flores $100,000 for each game he lost/ Flores also suing Giants for racism

[Beerfish]

One side issue of this is to me you have to be VERY careful trotting out % of race hired or not for you arguments.   You need to make a valid and proof ridden argument with out relying on %'s.

%'s can have unintended but valid consequences.

Why would Ross pay Flores to lose when they have Tua, started winning, and there are no big names at the top of the draft compared to last season? Something is not right about this

Mara being a huge klansman is the only way to explain the hiring of Joe Judge. Case closed.

Just so we're clear today: Tom Brady is gone, the Bills didn't make the Super Bowl, and the Dolphins, Giants, and Bill Belichick all look horrible and/or are being sued for discrimination? 

A rare win for Jets fans....that's what today has been.

Flores is a jackass

Dude will be lucky to even land an assistant coach gig in the league after this.

Imagine being him if this stuff is actually true. Big IF, but put yourself in his place as if these things actually happened to you.
 

then he doesn’t sound like the “angry black guy” anymore. Rather the fed up injured party who got fired after coaching his ass off and wouldn’t shave points when directed to. 
 

He was quiet about the Elway stuff (perfunctory meeting after a night out drinking), about the Ross stuff (avoiding the illegal meeting with Tom Brady and refusing to tank), not getting the QB he wanted in Herbert (stuck with Tua), not having a fair chance at an interview that was set up.  It’s all boiling over for the man as it should. 
 

His resume makes him the best HC candidate of all of them and frankly he should have a job by now and someone should still hire him right now.

He wasn't against Brady....he was against lobbying for Brady at that specific time, which would have been in violation of the tampering rules.

Was not talking about the yacht story.

If he has proof--recordings or texts or the like--that prove Ross offered $$ to lose games--THAT would be the issue for Miami and only Miami.

Nothing to do with race or Rooney rule or certifiable as a class action. 

Yes i know u werent talking about miami

Flores was a bad coach. The day he arrived he wanted to be known as a 'genius' and started playing games with players like blasting music at practice that he knew a player hated because they were having a tiff. Oh, and having a tiff with a player within the 1st week. He gave interviews about it and how he was 'trying to motivate' him. 

Never had anyone on staff that was any kind of threat to his authority when as a new coach he desperately needed some experience. 

Thin skinned dictator.

"IF" being The Key word... & "IF" it is true, then what is stated would be appropriate... maybe even forcing Ross to sell the team would be called for.

If this thread gets locked, can we at least open up a separate thread that solely focuses on the Miami part of this story?

**** yeah I wish we’d have tanked.

But the owner can’t put pressure on his HC to lose games.  Being put in that position, having that weight on you for years when all you want to do is the right thing, the best job you can and WIN.   I can imagine it, and it feels like ass.

The Rooney rule was designed to put candidates in front of owners for interviews not to magically control the thoughts of owners to not make up their minds before hand.  Everyone already knew these interviews were a shame before this which is why some were against it in the first place.

It was during the 2019/2020 draft. They were allegedly trying to tank during that Burrow, Tua, and Herbert class.

Had they not tanked, they would have had to settle for the 3rd QB. Oops.

[Rhg1084]

Jacksonville seemed like they deliberately tanked that game against us this year. Go back and rewatch that final drive from them to win the game, it was absurd

Trouble was brewing in west New York it seems:

“
"Ironically, during their January 11, 2022 text exchange, Mr. McDonnell also suggested that if Mr. Flores were hired as the Giants Head Coach, Brian Daboll might be interested in leaving Buffalo to serve as his Offensive Coordinator (“Heard Daboll isn’t happy with Sean [McDermott] in Buffalo . . . might be able to get out if he doesn’t get a head job... thoughts?”)."
