Those Black coaches' situations are/were all radically different: Flores was allegedly pressured to throw games--despite coaching well with a limited roster--and refused and was definitely put through sham interviews. Love Smith clearly declined as a coach in addition to being saddled with losers. Jim Caldwell was significantly improving a perennially losing team when he was fired. Tomlin is an all-time great forever winning with a seemingly perennially rebuilding team; hired by the namesakes of the diversity-in-coaching rule. And Bowles is seemingly always on a short leash no matter the level of talent he has. Flores, Caldwell, and Bowles have legit complaints. Smith had a short run of being good and hasn't been since. History is lucky Tomlin connected with the Rooneys.

how does any of that differ from what white coaches go through? every situation is different. also, as a Dolphins fan, Flores was ass. he played favorites with his players and ran with two offensive coordinators who couldn't even make one. Flores' calling card is as a defensive coordinator. that's his niche - until he figures out how to put together a successful offensive staff.
