Ian Rapoport said there wasn't going to be any more interviews he only said there were no more scheduled they could schedule more interviews later today or tomorrow.

Raheem should definitely get credit for Breeland.

But we have struggled on defense for years. It's time for new blood on the defensive coaching side, not another episode of "Danny, Bruce, and Their Cronies."

We've also struggled offensively for years too (except for 2012). And bringing new blood for the sake of new blood doesn't work.

I mean, weren't these the same people b*tching about Wade Phillips getting hired? I swear, people need to stop b*tching at everything.

No one argued for bringing in new blood for the sake of new blood.

Tell me, what makes Morris a better candidate for DC than Wade Philips? Or Vic Fangio, who may still come loose? Or Jim Schwartz, who again may be turned loose?

His results in Tampa speak a lot louder than the fact that he helped develop one player or the excuse that he didn't have a lot to work with.

I dont want Raheem to get the DC job, I would rather have Phillips or Schwartz from the ones available now. Fangio might jump to the top of the list if he is let go. But all of this stuff about Morris in Tampa is somewhat diluted. His last year, Tampa cut everyone and went with an MLS payroll (and they werent talented before stripping the team down. It was BA's players they were dropping right and left). That last year for Morris in Tampa, they had all of about 5 players that could have been substitutes on other teams. The rest didnt belong in the NFL. The roster moves that Tampa was making at that time made it pretty obvious they were moving on from Raheem a year or two before they actually did. They just didnt want to bring in the new coach only to watch him fail so they let Raheem be the fall guy.

Again, I dont want him to get the DC job, I havent been impressed with his work here. While our defense lacks serious talent, they always played as bad or worse than said talent, no overachieving whatsoever which is what the good coaches can get out of their players (sadly half of you are going to view this post as a Raheem is the greatest ever post). But at least judge the whole Tampa Bay organization as to the handling of the uncapped year, dont just make crap up to justify your position. We were redoing contracts to pull money into the uncapped year. Tampa was blowing the doors off of the cap floor by dropping so far underneath it. They came into the year following the uncapped year with something like 60 or 70 mil in cap space.

For all the talk about this college team or that college team could beat the worst NFL team, its rarely true. But that Tampa team was a college team.

Yes! Yes, we are going to blame him. Other teams had depleted secondaries where backups played well. There were many, many missed assignments by our secondary. They weren't learning. He wasn't getting through to them. Now, somehow, he's promotable? That is a ridiculous and very Snyder-like conclusion.

They dumbed down the defensive secondary to high school level calls according to Clark. But the coaches are held accountable to the performance on the field.

Im not buying either of those guys

[Chico23231]

Why the fuck is Morris a serious canidate...fuck this shit and fuck Bruce allen

It could very well be Gruden making the call. Let's not forget Gruden was very loyal to Haslett and would probably have kept him around.

At the end of the day, nothing is going to matter on the defensive side of the ball, if Jay Gruden doesn't get that offense to be somewhat decent.

It has been said on the Warpath that Gruden actually wanted a different DC but had Haslett foisted on himself.

Jay Gruden 'absolutely' interested in Jim Haslett returning as defensive coordinator - Washington Times
