Brian Flores Sues NFL, Teams Over the Treatment of Black Coaches

Excerpts from a WSJ article:

Brian Flores, the recently fired coach of the Miami Dolphins, has filed a lawsuit against the National Football League and three specific teams, alleging that Black coaches such as himself are discriminated against in pursuing coaching opportunities.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Southern District Court of New York on behalf of Flores and seeks to establish a class-action on behalf of others similarly situated, includes a wide-ranging series of allegations covering Flores’s time with Miami and his efforts to get other jobs. It accuses teams, including the New York Giants, of giving him token interviews in order to comply with the league’s “Rooney Rule,” which requires that franchises interview Black candidates for head coaching and general manager openings.

Another thing about MAM

He gets his hands on the ball and decides to dribble for a significant distance, while he has multiple open guards available to pass to. Almost always resulting in a turnover.

You would think that this frequent issue would be blatantly obvious to the coaches on the sideline.

if not, you would think that they would pick up on it when breaking down game film after the game.

You would think that MB would make this easy fix a priority, but there is no evidence of that.

This reminds me of Underwood continuing to play his extended defense for 8 games, when it was obvious that Lindy, Dz and Cam didn’t have the lateral mobility/quickness to play that system successfully. You would think that this problem would have been solved by now. It should not have taken this long.

(I know this post hasn’t said anything new, I just started in in hopes that someone with access to MBs ear might see it and share).

Boynton re: Keylan

Hunziker on tonight's coaches show mentioned the insane scoring per minute stats Keylan Boone has piled up in recent games....and doing so in very, very few minutes. Keylan has scored in double figures in 4 games. In those 4 games he's played a combined 64 minutes, scoring 53 points.

Hunziker: 'that's a crazy clip of efficiency, over 30ppg over 40 minutes'

Boynton: 'he's kind of our version of the Microwave...can come in and score points quickly. For him it's a matter of having consistent production and not giving up points at the other end...defending at a high level...and doing it over the course of time. Hasn't shown the propensity to be that good in lots of minutes. So we gotta get him to take good shots, be aggressive, rebound, because his shot making ability is something our team needs.

Hunziker: what keeps him from being more consistent??

Boynton: 'I think training your body to be able to deal with that kind of load...he's not grown into that yet where he can play 28 to 30 minutes and continue to produce and stay locked in on defense. He can lose focus, or get fatigued, or sometimes doesn't have the confidence to go out there and communicate through those difficult stretches'

=====

Pretty odd exchange......how would he know Keylan can't play those bigger minutes when....he never plays bigger minutes? Or perhaps Boynton saw enough awhile back when Keylan started a few games? Anyway....just passing along.

So I somehow lived under a rock the last few years and missed this show. I was bored last night and started this show at 10pm. I was up till 3 am and wanted more. Damn this show is great and I should have bought a damn ranch in Idaho in my younger days. Also, every Beth is the world said thank you.

I will say though Dances With Wolves may be second only to Braveheart IMO. I love me some KC.

State of college football.

I just looked at Tx A&M recruiting. They lost Perkins to LSU but still have like 5 5 stars. Texas and ou had nice recruiting classes but they are going to be eaten alive in the SEC. As an aside Banks really dropped in the player ratings. He is now a 4 star and dropped from number 10 to number 65 in the national ratings. I guess even going to Tx doesn't prevent things like that. OU and Tx will have to up their spending to even begin to compete.
