Tom Flores was the first NFL Head Coach of Hispanic heritage to lead his team in the Super Bowl when he was with the Raiders
Ron Rivera is the 2nd when the Panthers take on the Broncos in Super Bowl 50

Records of PoC who have been head coaches in the Super Bowl:

Flores is 2-0 (Raiders vs Eagles and vs Washington)
Dungy 1-0 (Bears - I was so sad)
Tomlin 1-1 (Win against Arizona. Loss to Green Bay)
L. Smith 0-1 (Lost to a Dungy coached team - I was so Sad)

1. He doesn't want to be known that way.

I live in Charlotte, and there was an article last week in our paper - he has no interest in being labeled as "an Hispanic coach."

Charlotte Observer is the paper if you want to look it up.

2. This morning, Flores said he never heard about it until "today."

He said it just wasn't something people were talking about, then.
