John Elway Responds To Brian Flores Allegations

 John Elway has responded to former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores's lawsuit. Flores alleged that Elway and others showed up to interview him hungover. 

The Denver Broncos president of football operations John Elway called these allegations "false and defamatory". 

"While I was not planning to respond publicly to the false and defamatory claims by Brian Flores, I could not be silent any longer with my character, integrity and professionalism being attacked I took Coach Flores very seriously as a candidate for our head coaching position in 2019 and enjoyed our three-and-a-half hour interview with him. Along with the rest of our group, I was prepared, ready and fully engaged during the entire interview as Brian shared his experience and vision for our team. For Brian to make an assumption about my appearance and state of mind early that morning was subjective, hurtful and just plain wrong. If I appeared 'disheveled,' as he claimed, it was because we had flown in during the middle of the night -- immediately following another interview in Denver and were going on a few hours of sleep to meet the only window provided to us." - John Elway

The Denver Broncos hired Vance Joseph as their head coach back in 2017 who happens to be black.
