Korn Ferry Document May Impact Brian Flores Discrimination Case

Brian Flores, the Vikings defensive coordinator, is pursuing a discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and multiple teams. His legal team has reportedly obtained a document from Korn Ferry, a search firm involved in NFL coaching searches, which may significantly affect the case.

This document, described as potentially explosive, is currently under a protective order that keeps it confidential. However, its strength has prompted Flores's lawyers to prepare an amendment to his initial complaint filed in February 2022.

The document is linked to a coaching search conducted by the Raiders, although specifics about the search remain unclear. Flores's lawsuit includes claims against the NFL, the Dolphins, the Broncos, the Giants, and the Texans, while co-plaintiffs are involved in separate wrongful termination and hiring claims. The Korn Ferry document could play a crucial role in the ongoing litigation, which allows for broader discovery compared to arbitration.
