ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos president of football operations John Elway is disputing Brian Flores’ contention that his interview for Denver’s head coaching vacancy in 2019 was a sham and only conducted to meet the league’s Rooney Rule requirement. Elway says he seriously considered Flores for the job. The Giants said their interest in Flores also was genuine. Also Thursday Steelers owner Art Rooney II defended the Rooney Rule while acknowledging it hasn’t led to more minority head coaches. And civil rights leaders called for a meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss the lack of diversity in coaching ranks and owners suites.
