Around the Horn was freaking out about how great of a hire Raheem Morris is

I’m guessing they’re doing this because he’s a minority coach, and so they have to talk him up in order to be politically correct. Tim Cowlishaw even mentioned that “black coaches don’t always get second chances like this”.

Personally, I’m happy about the hire because I think the Falcons will continue to be mediocre, and the Saints can keep kicking their asses.

Don't watch these staged shows. They are actors. You are giving them ratings to help keep them on the air.

Because that career .356 winning percentage screamed he’s deserving of a 3rd chance. Especially with how stellar his defenses have been:
2009: TB HC 27th(yards) & 27th(points)
2010: TB HC 17th(y) & 9th(p)
2011: TB HC 30th(y) & 32nd(p)
2020: Atl DC/HC 29th(y) & 19th(p)
2021: LAR DC 17th(y) & 15th(p)
2022: LAR DC 19th(y) & 21st(p)
2023: LAR DC 20th(y) & 19th(p)

I'm glad that we all love the fact that Coach Morris is the HC of the High Flyin Falcs of the Ay Tee Ell .

Shannon Sharpe said his favorite thing about the hire is that now the Mayor is black, something else is black and the Coach is black

We also have this groundbreaking report from the associated press

Lovie Smith, Romeo Crenel, Denny Green, Hue Jackson, Herm Edwards, and Jim Caldwell would all like to have a word about that.

DA is white so he deserves having a HC job.

Why anyone would watch anything on ESPN outside of live game coverage is beyond me.

I’m not bothered by the fact that Raheem Morris is a head coach. Not sure what about my post makes you think that. I’m actually elated because he’s not very good, and he will be in our division for a couple of years.

Also, Dennis Allen sucks and should have been fired already. He’s like Ed Orgeron except without lucking into one miracle championship season.

You won’t find anything with substance on those espn talk shows. They are literally designed to grab your attention however they can.

Remember the days when ESPN showed actual sports and MTV play actual music videos?

DA was hired, at the time, because it seemed the logical choice. It sure as hell wasn’t because he’s white. If anything, being white is a detriment for any guy wanting to be an head coach in the NFL.

Best post on this thread! I have taken dumps that are more informative and entertaining than this ESPN drivel!

Not to anyone outside the Saints front office with half a brain.

He’s a proven loser. You don’t hire guys like that to be your head coach just for the sake of “maintaining continuity”. I knew it was a really lazy hire when it happened.

He was the DC of the 5th ranked defense. You don't just throw that away.
I didn't agree with the hiring but smart people understood it.
