Really love this.

Doesnt he run a 4-3?

This is a awesome hire if it happens. Great leader and turned the Falcons around to a decent team once he was coaching.

 

[Giles]

I don't see how he's a fit with the personal on defense. Plus didn't the falcon have the worst pass d in the league?

I don't know if he is married to it but he certainly has had most of his coaching upbringing in the 4-3. Particularly the ole cover 2. But there's an old connection between him and McVay with Gruden back at Tampa Bay so that makes sense at least.

But I agree this would make for an interesting offseason if that's who we hire. We don't have a lot of traditional 4-3 ends on our roster. Morgan Fox if we can resign him. That's all I can think of off the top of my head who fits the classic 4-3 mold size wise. Lewis and Obo are undersized probably. Idk, will have to see I suppose.

Rivers can likely play end in a 4-3 as well Never mind he’s lighter than I thought.

Morris and McVay were on Washington’s staff together for 3 years, so Sean has first hand knowledge of Morris’ credentials.

Don't tell me we got another rebuild on our hands.

Hopefully this isn't us chasing the new 3rd round comp pick formula. Because I think morris will be a head coach soon.

Cover 2 sucks balls

 

[ScotsRam]

I cant see McVay changing from a wildly successful new scheme after just one year, so he obviously feels that Morris can keep some sort of continuity going.

Surprised Pleasant isnt getting the promotion. I hope we dont lose the really good assistant coaches who have clearly been contributing to our defensive success (Pleasant, Henderson, Evero etc)

That would be a really stupid thing to do. 3rd round picks are nice but they arent so nice that you dont hire the right guy for the job.

 

[PressureD41]

100% agree w/ @ScotsRam I am shocked we didn't hire within. Both DB coaches are overdue for a DC gig

I mean he could be "right enough". But maybe that adds a little incentive.

On one hand, I think it's a great hire. Morris really turned the Falcons around when he took over. On the other hand, if he does well here, I guarantee he's a NFL HC after the season. But there are much worse outcomes than that. Morris is not married to a traditional 4-3 Cover 2. That was what he ran when he was HC because he came up under Monte Kiffin. Since that time, he has coached under people who have run a traditional 3-4 scheme and Pete Carroll's multiple scheme (tends to look like a 4-3 but uses personnel from the 3-4).

With Morris, I would expect our defense to be multiple, which is just fine.

 

[OldSchool]

Let’s not forget more comp picks if he gets promoted after next year. The more I read about him post Tampa the more I like the hire.

I would prefer Jay Rodgers from Chicago...
