Former NFL coach Terry Robiskie lauds Brian Flores' lawsuit against the NFL, but is skeptical anything will change for Black coaches, writes JarrettBell
It’s no surprise Robiskie relates to Flores, because at one time he considered suing the NFL over what he perceived to be discriminatory practices.
Robiskie recalls being on a phone call with Cochran and Tony Dungy when the FPA was launched, contending, “If we’re going to file a lawsuit, I’m in.” But the threat — with Cochran’s attention-grabbing presence as a force — undoubtedly was a factor that led then-NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and other power brokers to engage in efforts that led to the creation of the Rooney Rule.
