Brian Flores To Take Part In NFL\'s Coach Accelerator Program

[RealGM Wiretap]

Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores will be among the 27 participants in the NFL\'s fifth accelerator program.

The event is hosted by the league to strengthen the pipeline of diverse candidates for front office and coaching positions. It\'s held at the league meetings in Nashville, Tennessee, which will take place next week.

Flores, a longtime New England Patriots assistant before becoming the head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2019-21, filed a lawsuit in 2022 against the NFL and several teams alleging racial discrimination in its hiring practices.

After being fired by the Dolphins, Flores spent a season with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach before taking the Vikings defensive coordinator position in 2023.

Only hurts his case to become a head coach.

As soon as he filed a lawsuit against Miami, it was never going to happen.
