NFL lawyers are likely smiling after Tua Tagovailoa earlier this week unloaded on his former head coach, Brian Flores, referring to him as a “terrible person.”. The Miami Dolphins fired Flores on January 10, 2022, and three weeks later he sued the NFL, his former team, and several other clubs, alleging racial discrimination was behind his ouster and previous inability to get hired as a head coach by the Giants, Texans, and Broncos.

Flores appeared on news shows, and the NFL and the Dolphins were on the defensive over allegations in the complaint.
