Flores’ attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor and John Elefterakis released the following statement in response to Smith being hired over their client, according to CBS Sports:

Mr. Flores is happy to hear that the Texans have hired a Black head coach, Lovie Smith, as Mr. Flores’ goal in bringing his case is to provide real opportunities for Black and minority candidates to be considered for coaching and executive positions within the NFL. However, we would be remiss not to mention that Mr. Flores was one of three finalists for the Texans’ head coach position and, after a great interview and mutual interest, it is obvious that the only reason Mr. Flores was not selected was his decision to stand up against racial inequality across the NFL.

Do Flores’ attorneys really think this is a wise strategy to help their client? Do they really think attacking the Texans for hiring a different black coach is a wise idea?

It seems very stupid, especially when there’s no proof on the table other than their own perceptions of the situation.

So what if he was? Flores is a better HC than him.

You have to take into account that L. Smith already knows the players/roster and where the team is at as a whole.

Ownership already knows him as well and how he works. I don’t think there’s any news here.

punch , sorry man but I got to disagree with you here. He is a veteran HC who has taken a team to a super bowl. Now looking at exactly what the Texans are going through right now he might be the right thing that team needs. A voice of experience that older and younger players can feel good with . To add and while many don't like to admit this a HC the Owners are comfortable giving up the keys to the franchise to.
