Brian Flores Discrimination Lawsuit: Memo Alleges Coach Made "Irrational Demands" and "Threatened Violence"

A court filing made public a Korn Ferry document the Raiders received that lists allegations about Brian Flores. A newly public document in Brian Flores’ lawsuit lists allegations about the coach, including that he made “irrational demands” at an ownership meeting and “threatened violence” toward a general manager, NBC Sports reported. The assessment was prepared by search firm Korn Ferry, which the Raiders hired to consult on their head-coaching search, and the Raiders did not interview Flores. These are allegations in the document, not established facts. Flores’ lawyers said it shows unlawful retaliation for his challenge to league hiring practices and that it leans heavily on racial stereotypes. Flores first sued the NFL in February 2022 and is a defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings.
