We’ve been discussing here: [2022 NFL coaching carousel - #116 by Akaj](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2022-nfl-coaching-carousel/957096/116) but basis summary is this:

1. Teams are required to interview two minority candidates when hiring a head coach (Rooney Rule)
2. It’s a frequent comment whenever a minority coach is being interviewed that it’s just to meet the Rooney Rule.
3. Flores was going to interview with the Giants
4. He found out two days before the interview that the Giants were set on hiring another coach, meaning his interview was just a sham to meet to the Rooney Rule.
