Examining Inequities in NFL Coaching Opportunities

It was an abrupt move that not many could have foreseen. Despite an impressive three-year showing with the Miami Dolphins, Brian Flores was fired from his position as head coach last month in a surprising end to a contract that was supposed to last for two more years.

What's followed could be described as a "reckoning" for the NFL: Flores filed a class-action lawsuit against the league citing racial discrimination, a move that's prompted a closer look at the NFL's hiring practices and the racial makeup of those in power.

Flores sat down with NPR's Jay Williams, host of The Limits with Jay Williams, to talk about his experience.
