The real bombshell drops when/if Troy Vincent gets subpoenaed.
In a January interview, the Executive Vice President of Football Operations at the NFL said this 1 day after the Flores firing:
“There is a double standard, and we’ve seen that,” Vincent said in a phone interview. “And you talk about the appetite for what’s acceptable. Let’s just go back to Tyrone Willingham at Notre Dame, [who] was fired after a winning season. Coach Dungy was let go in Tampa Bay after a winning season. So we have seen this. … Coach Wilks, just a few years prior, was let go after one year. And then the things that happened [Monday].
“There is a double standard. I don’t think that that is something that we should shy away from. But that is all part of some of the things that we need to fix in the system. We want to hold everyone to why does one, let’s say, get the benefit of the doubt to be able to build or take bumps and bruises in this process of getting a franchise turned around when others are not afforded that latitude? … We see it at the collegiate level. And we’ve seen that in history at the [professional] level.”

Mike Florio also mentioned Vincent as being "very frustrated" over the lack of diversity hiring and saying "[he can] only present the most qualified candidates" of color and it was up to the owners to abide by the Rooney rule.
If Vincent can match the courage that Flores has shown so far, I think NFL will be in a far, far more difficult position than it is in now.
