Pittsburgh Steelers hire Brian Flores, who is suing the NFL for racial discrimination, as assistant coach
CNN
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.

The CIA has sent the White House an unclassified email listing all new hires that have been with the agency for two years or less in an effort to comply with an executive order to downsize the federal workforce, according to three sources familiar with the matter – a deeply unorthodox move that could potentially expose the identities of those officers to foreign government hackers.
