Steve Wilks joins Brian Flores lawsuit, alleges discrimination by Cardinals

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks has joined the race discrimination lawsuit filed against the NFL by former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores.

In Wilks’ claims against the Cardinals, whom he coached in 2018, he says he was “hired as a ‘bridge coach'” and wasn’t given “any meaningful chance to succeed.”

(Snip)

Keim received a contract extension in February 2018 after he helped hire Wilks but was convicted for a July 2018 DUI arrest. Wilks cited Keim’s suspension during the 2018 preseason as a factor that put Wilks in a bad position, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.

Florio additionally reports that Wilks claims Keim was involved in negotiations with running back David Johnson during his suspension, and that Keim and owner Michael Bidwill were “pissed” about the team pulling off a road win against the Green Bay Packers. The victory compromised the teams’ chances of landing the first overall pick in 2019, which they eventually earned and used to draft current starting quarterback Kyler Murray.

Part of his complaint revolves around his fake interview with the Titans, something admitted to by the white guy who got the job.
