LOL. A few weeks ago I was talking with my sister about the same thing. We're both in our 40's and were talking about the younger fans and how much we feel bad for them. They don't know what it use to be like around here...where you actually felt apart of something special.

I wonder what GTripp' thinks about all of this. His is on my ignore list.

After trolling and insulting Bucs fans hard about this guy's incompetence as head coach on Yahoo, now I have to cry as they can now troll me when DeAngelo Hall has his next OMGcanyou****ingstopsucking moment.(not his fault)

Cry, those 12 wins include Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference Championships right.

Looks like more coaching changes for the Redskins...

"Chris Russell @Russellmania980
Hearing that it is likely another coaching staff move will be made tomorrow, but it is not a major name. Stay tuned #Redskins"

[diehardskin2982]

I think this is a good move. I think it is also a major move for if and when Kyle becomes HC. His DC is already on the staff. I wonder if they will go after Hue Jackson to become WR coach. More than likely it will be another young guy or Slowick

[chrisl13]

In all honesty, Morris should have been given at least 1 more season to prove himself. The man led his young team to a 10 win season. Sure they lost 10 straight this past season but it was no more his fault than it was the players who quit on him. So in essence, this guy should still be a head coach. We should be grateful to have him as a position coach.

This is interesting, Morris took over as defensive backs coach in 2007 for the Bucs. The previous year they were ranked 19th in passing defense, when Morris took over they were the #1 passing defense, they were also top 10 in opponent's QB rating, and I top 10 in fewest TDs allowed. Granted, this was still Monte Kiffin's defense, but still this is encouraging.

I'm always skeptical of NFL YPG rankings, but I checked with my trusted source and that number in 2007 is legit.

An excellent defensive season against all wide receivers. Mediocre performance by the Tampa DL that year as well:

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | DEFENSIVE LINES 2007

2007 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Starters, Roster, & Players - Pro-Football-Reference.com

LCB Ronde Barber 32 10 16 1.0 sacks, 2 interceptions, 2 fumbles recovered
RCB Phillip Buchanon 27 5 13 0.0 sacks, 3 interceptions, 0 fumbles recovered
SS Jermaine Phillips 28 5 15 1.0 sacks, 4 interceptions, 0 fumbles recovered
FS Tanard Jackson 22 Rook 16 0.0 sacks, 2 interceptions, 3 fumbles recovered

That D also had CB Brian Kelly, CB Sammy Davis, and CB Will Allen (not the Giants guy). A talented, deep group to be sure.

I am also not a big fan of YPGs, which is why I liked the opponents QB rating ranking and TDs allowed. Glad to see the stats about the Ds performance against WRs. Looks like Morris did a good job with that DBs unit, hopefully he can work his magic with our unit.
