REPORT: Brian Flores Remains A Finalist For Houston Texans HC Job Despite Lawsuit

February 3, 2022

Despite the fact that he has flied a lawsuit against the National Football League, Brian Flores is reportedly still a finalist for the Houston Texans head-coaching vacant.

According to Josina Anders of CBS Sports, Flores along with Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Johnathan Gannon and former NFL quarterback Josh McCown are the three finalists for the job:

As of this am, I'm told the #Texans still have not made a final decision on their head coach, but Brian Flores is still considered a finalist–even after his filing of a class-action lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against the NFL–along with Jonathan Gannon & Josh McCown. 1/3

Additionally I’m told that the #Texans spent the last 48hrs or so thoroughly vetting the staffing plans for each of their finalists to ascertain viability, availability & fit. The outcome of that review is very important to this process, as is alignment, per league source. 2/3

[Cont] So the #Texans are starting the process of rallying up on their decision. My understanding is Kevin O’Connell, who interviewed for the HC job, continues to be thought of highly within Houston’s organization. O'Connell is earmarked for the Vikings HC job, unofficially. 3/3

Flores filed the lawsuit against the league and all 32 teams on Tuesday, alleging racial discrimination in the hiring process for coaches. He also accused Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross of offering him compensation to lose games during the 2019 season.
