This will be true for, at least, the 2013 season. The Redskins will benefit from the Buccaneer\u2019s folly. I suspect that, sometime after the season, he will be offered another position as D Coord, somewhere\u2026 possibly another Head Coach position will come his way\u2026 but, for now, he will be making improvements in the weak link of the Redskins defense\u2026 the backfield.<\/p>\n<p>Raheem Morris is a Class Act.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL is loaded with egos\u2026 this is certainly not news.

He declined.\u00a0 He explained \u201cA lot of people might think it\u2019s a missed opportunity not going to Minnesota after they offered, but I believe that in this game, all you have is your word and your tape, and I gave these guys my word, and I wanted to come here and help them this year, and I was going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a quality man, with tons of integrity and character.\u00a0 He\u2019s also a very sharp defensive mind, who&#8217;s contributions will extend to the whole defense. \u00a0I doubt he\u2019s on our coaching roster for more than a year\u2026 but, I\u2019m very happy to have him. \u00a0This was a quality hire, and\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to see the results of his work with\u00a0our defense.\u00a0 Welcome to\u00a0our pig pen, Coach Morris!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HTTR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was baffled\u2026 still am\u2026 by the firing of Raheem Morris by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
