BOSTON (CBS) — Bill Belichick texted the wrong Brian to congratulate him for getting the Giants’ head coaching a job, according to a lawsuit filed by former Dolphins head coach and former Patriots assistant coach Brian Flores. The lawsuit showed text messages of Belichick sending congratulations to Flores for landing the Giants job on Jan. 24. After Flores initially appeared confused by the text message, he asked Belichick, “Coach, are you talking to Brian Flores or Brian Daboll. He remained there through the 2018 season, when he departed to take over as the Dolphins’ head coach. “The team’s General Manager, Chris Grier, told Mr. Flores that [Ross] was ‘mad’ that Mr. Flores’ success in winning games that year was ‘compromising [the team’s] draft position,” the lawsuit said.
