CM916 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I was at the epicenter of suck having to hear about this guy every night on my local news but I still don't have a problem bringing him in as an assistant. The Bucs completely collapsed this season but it wasn't all bad the last three years. I think the locals were actually shocked at this season after ten wins in 2010. Josh Freeman is still on billboards everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think its incredibly bad form to openly court a position coach before there is a vacancy.It makes me wonder who the 'brass' were? Allen and Kyle? Because that could simply have been 3 friends sharing a meal. BTW-I think Raheem Morris is a good coach and was somewhat surprised that he got the axe but its then NFL. I read some where that Jackson was considering the Purdue job, his alma mater. That could be the reason and would provide the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Huh? You do realize the Vikings and Bucs aren't in the same division, right? Dude, new shift, it's late and I'm tired. Sorry. You are correct. In my head I still think of the Bucs and Vikings in the same division. The old divisions are still etched in my old brain. Maybe he was thinking the same thing.

Dah-Dee Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sources: Vikes to talk to Raheem Morris EmailPrintComments By Chris Mortensen ESPN Archive Raheem Morris, who was fired Monday as coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will interview with the Minnesota Vikings on Friday for a high-level position on their defensive staff, according to league and team sources. NFC North blog ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert writes about all things NFC North in his division blog. • NFL Nation blog Morris was en route to Minneapolis on Thursday from Washington, D.C., where he met with the Redskins regarding a defensive backs coaching job, the sources said. Morris will meet with Vikings coach Leslie Frazier and newly named general manager Rick Spielman to discuss a possible job as defensive coordinator or assistant head coach/defense. A team source indicated that the talks are exploratory and no decisions have been made on staff changes yet.

SWFLSkins Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well, Defensive Coordinator > DBacks Coach. It was a good effort NO so fast, Ziggy don't have the bucks Snyder is willing to part with. It may not be over yet. And the Vikes suck but given the opt. maybe he goes for the title over the chance to work with Mike? IDK. we'll see.

Plus, it may be a safer choice to go back to where he gained his fame from rather than go into a DC role. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well, Defensive Coordinator > DBacks Coach. It was a good effort Assistant Head Coach > Defensive Coordinator. Titles are just that, they don't always denote true responsibility in this league. We also have a more attractive position group at DB than Minnesota by far, and even moreso if we resolve our questions at safety. ---------- Post added January-7th-2012 at 02:56 PM ---------- By the way that is my money Snyder is throwing around and all the other fans too. (Smiley Face Caption) Its really not. Unless you are a season ticket holder for multiple seasons the small amount of money you're spending on merchandise isn't significant. Much if not most of the money comes from tv deals which aren't costing you anything unless you're paying for something similar to Sunday ticket. Snyder bought the team with his money and has no issue spending more of it to improve this team. He isn't one of the owners padding his wallet at the expense of the team so the whole "that's my money!" idea is fairly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I dunno, leaving DC without a deal doesn't sound like good news. Why go visit Minny unless you weren't happy with our offer? Meh, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, whatever. Leverage for one thing. It would also be wise of Morris to see what kind of responsibility each team is willing to offer and which staff he feels he would be a better fit for.

zCommander Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 » Morris, fired by Tampa after 10 straight losses to end the season, has already met with the Redskins and Vikings about positions on their defensive staffs, and he is very close to Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin. Tomlin is a mentor to Morris, and the Steelers could lose defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, who contemplates retirement at the end of every season. If LeBeau does retire, league sources say Steelers linebackers coach Keith Butler would be promoted to defensive coordinator, but any move on that side of the ball could provide an opportunity for Tomlin to lure in Morris. LinkI think he will go with the Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he might think that he has a better chance to get a SB ring with the Steelers. Something money can't buy. But, I hope we do get him to come here somehow though.

But, I hope we do get him to come here somehow though. Its not as if he's nearing retirement. He's a young guy. Any choice he makes will be the one he thinks is best for his career, one that may lead him to another HC gig some day. If he gets the Asst HC title here, along with more responsibility, etc. and is only being offered a position coach gig with the Steelers, I don't think the Steeler's being closer to a SB will sway him. His work here may look better on a resume for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Keenan McCardell his potential, he has the natural HC look. Think Spanos is to weird for a HC and Shanahan isn't a demanding in controle figure.
