USAT: Bills Wire

Feb 3, 2022

The New York Giants have had their hand in the Buffalo Bills cookie jar plenty as of late. - Three assistant coaches have recently followed two big names from Buffalo to New York. That latter pair being new Giants’ general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. - While things seemed swell in New York, it was short lived. The Giants have since become the centerpieces of a lawsuit. - Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is suing the team citing racist hiring practices in the league, including with the Giants. The Giants emphatically denied those accusations and Schoen, a big part of their hiring practices, has responded… in the only way he can. - “I can’t comment on it,” Schoen said, via NorthJersey.com. “Just, we had a thorough coaching search and Brian Flores was one of the finalists and I’ll just leave it at that.” - Naturally, he cannot say much since it is an active lawsuit. Schoen commented while attending the Senior Bowl. - It’s probably easy to assume that Schoen and Daboll never expected themselves to be a couple of the faces behind such public situation. - Flores was fired by the Dolphins on Jan. 10 despite guiding them to two-straight winning seasons. Also hooked into Flores’ claims is New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. - Belichick sent a text to Flores congratulating him on getting Giants’ head coaching job. However, Belichick clearly meant to send that text to Daboll, a.k.a. he addressed his message to the wrong person named Brian. - Prior to joining the Giants, Schoen and Daboll were the Bills’ assistant general manager and offensive coordinator, respectively. - - RelatedReport: Giants hire Bills' player service coordinator Laura YoungWATCH: The top-10 plays of the Buffalo Bills' 2021 seasonESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. sends Bills Trent McDuffie in recent mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bills Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bills Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
