Except for when he was head coach for Tampa Bay before arriving here.

What does being a head coach prior have to do with it?
He spent 3 years under McVay, who’s to say he gets another shot without that?
So a guy like LaFleur counts even though he only spent 1 year on the staff, left to take a lateral move to work with Vrabel before getting a HC gig.
Morris basically was an interim HC before earning the HC gig in Atlanta. Thanks in part to working for Mc Vay

I'm giving Raheem Morris 100% credit for his success.
The other guys?
Not so much.

How do you figure that?
Morris replaced Gruden prior to the 2009 season, and was the head coach for three seasons.

I was honestly questioning if McVay's head was in it earlier this year, wondering if the league had caught up to him and he made be ready to move away from it for awhile.
I was terribly wrong, and will never question him again. Sometimes his playcalling is maddening, but I doubt ANY coach could have done the job he did this year. The guys just buy into his kool-aid and it's amazing to see.

Gruden was set to be the coach and Morris was going to be DC when Kiffin left.
It was a stretch, he was hired to be DC then promoted to HC when Gruden got fired.
Tbh, I thought Gruden was fired later in the off season.

OK but I think "interim" is by definition ... temporary. No big deal.

Yeah I did say “basically” because it was a stretch. I thought Gruden was fired in like March or something and they just handed it over.
