Black Monday 2026: Raheem Morris Sacked

[mblack]

Well, that was surprising. The GM was also let go.
As a reminder, the Falcons interviewed the following (who later became head coaches) before opting for Raheem Morris:

• Macdonald (Seattle)
  
• Vrabel (Patriots)
  
• Harbaugh (Chargers)
  
• Ben Johnson (Bears)
  

The GM (Fontenot) really whiffed. Add that to drafting a 24 year old Penix with an injury history after signing Cousins in a huge deal was pretty crazy.

Question for the football minds: If BFlo moves on is Raheem Morris an option?

Kevin Stefanski out as the Brown's head coach, Brian Daboll out as the Giant's head coach, and Brian Callahan out as the Titan's head coach...

We should bring back Stefanski as our OC. His run game was always excellent and he could help Kevin have a more effective rushing attack.

Falcons owner should fire himself while he's at it...
Very surprised about Stefanski, guy was in a shit show in Cleveland. I'll bet he's glad to be out and has a chance to re-boot.

You have to think Morris would be an option for the Vikings if Flores moves on. But I think I'd prefer to backfill with someone like Daronte Jones who might keep the Flores defense somewhat intact. 

Makes you wonder if Morris's success in LA was due more to having Aaron Donald than him. But that's kind of a chicken or egg thing. Does Brian Billick owe his Super Bowl ring to Randy Moss?

While KOC has bucked this trend a bit, I have always contended that players make the coaches in the NFL...Especiallly QB

Yes!!!

Raiders fire Pete Carroll after only one season...

I’m surprised that Stefanski is out. I kind of thought they’d hang onto him until Watson was off the books. I’m not really certain who wants to come in and be given a budget that already has $130M in dead weight on that one contract alone. People are suggesting that Stefanski will likely get a lot of looks for HC jobs.

That said, if I were him I’d probably be a bit more selective the second time around.

Cardinals just fired HC Jonathon Gannon.
