re: Good thing for Us...NFC South teams all have misguided front offices!

Morris will be fired in 3 years. He is the definition of a retread. He is a less successful Dennis Allen.

He’s actually a great leader unlike the jackass that runs the saints program. He had a decent roster but was a defensive coach forced to get wins with Freeman at QB and still managed to go 10-6 his second year. Greg Olson was his OC and not in the league anymore.

And that 10-6 season was a complete outlier as TB immediately regressed back to 4-12 the next season...losing 10 straight to end the season, which made his career record 17-31. He was on the Atlanta staff from 2015-2020. They know him well. In fact, if the players, coaches, and FO love him so much they could have made him the permanent HC following the 2020 season. They didn't.

There are a lot of parallel to Dennis Allen. Guy who got a HC job at a (relatively) young age...and had a losing record. Then went to a different organization where he spent several years on staff before ultimately being hired as the HC.

Is it possible that he has a great tenure as the Atlanta HC? Of course. But nothing in his past suggests that is likely. For a franchise who purportedly interviewed everyone under the sun, to settle on a re-tread whose record as a HC is unremarkable and the organization already passed on once for their HC job seems pretty underwhelming (not for Saints fans, of course, who are continuing to have to deal with their own version of such guy)
