If he was still coaching, this would have never arisen with him. Again, he lashed out after he was fired. Hmm, just another former disgruntled employee.
I don't think he did a great job either and I think the Rooney rule a garbage because it turns black candidates into token interviews, but by rule the Giants cannot decide on a candidate until they interview at least one minority candidate. Flore absolutely has a case here.
BTW, Flores is a heck of a lot more qualified than some of the coaches that keep getting rehired.
Why does he have a case? You really think BB, a guy the Giants hate, was getting inside leaks on the hiring process? He probably was told that the Giants were leaning towards Daboll or that he was the front runner. Do you really think John Mara called up BB and said "We are going to hire Daboll but we have to go through the motions and give a sham interview to your Flores guy before making it official. Whatever you do, don't tell Flores"?
BTW it happens all the time in non-NFL jobs where you interview someone first who is great and you say that's the guy or woman unless someone else clears that really high bar. You have others scheduled to interview, you interview them, nobody is as good as the first person, and you hire the first person. Why is that so hard to fathom that that's what happened here? NFL teams still proceed under the ridiculously idiotic premise that a good coordinator will be a good HC even though the skills required are very different. The OC of one of the best offenses built around a young QB he has developed into a star probably is going to interview better than a recently fired HC who failed to make the playoffs in 3 years and flopped developing his young QB. Is Daboll going to be a great HC? Given the high failure rate of most coordinator hires, I would bet no, but that's the Giants problem.
