The race part comes from the Rooney rule failure and he has receipts from the text confirming the Giants had already decided on who they were hiring but need him to get round the Rooney rule. 

Also the race part comes from how coaches like he, Lovie Smith, old Lions coach, and even Houston coach don't get long leashes given the record they had when fired (with the exception of the Houston coach who had a bad record but certainly didn't deserve to be canned given what he walked into).

Also the number of African American coaches (that outweigh the number of non minority coaches) at the assistant coach level not really reflective the same way for the HC opportunities.

Flores doesn't have a lot of room to stand on, though.  Eight new HC's were hired in '19.  All four that still have a job(Taylor, LaFleur, Kingsberry, and Arians) made the playoffs this year.  Of the four that have been fired, he got the same 3 years that Fangio got, one more year than Gase, and two more years than Kitchens.
