Comments on: Absent “signs of improvement,” Raheem could get run out of Tampa http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/04/absent-signs-of-improvement-raheem-could-get-run-out-of-tampa/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 03:18:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: stevebuc http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/12/04/absent-signs-of-improvement-raheem-could-get-run-out-of-tampa/#comment-1428754 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 04:50:58 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=170901#comment-1428754 I agree with firing Rah. He has no idea what he is doing as evidenced by the undisciplined BS we see every week. Everyone says that the team wants to play for Rah but it sure isn’t showing on the field. It seems to me that the Glazers would want to hire someone like Cowher because it would instantly fill the seats. Oh, wait a minute, that would require spending money on the Bucs and we all know that isn’t going to happen.

I’ve been there through good times and bad. Raheem Morris doesn’t even deserve to finish out the year. Unfortunately, this far into the season, the point would be moot.

The Bucs are as ill prepared and undisciplined, as any Bucs team I have seen since the 70′s. And the 70′s were monumentally bad. This is a reflection on it’s head coach. Mr. buddy buddy Rah. Apart from two home victories, against division foes who we know all too well, I’ve had the privilege of watching our defense get dominated early by teams that had us beat before the coin toss. They were well prepared with a game plan. The hapless Colts even jumped on us early, and we barely escaped with a victory.

Raheem Morris got promoted from D-coordinator to head coach without ever serving one moment on the sideline as a D-coordintor. We are 30th in defense this year, 29th against the run. 2010 We were sixth against the pass, but that is only because we were 27th against the run, and teams ran all over us. They didn’t have to pass. To Josh Freeman’s credit, he brought us back from the brink, to make the 2010 campaign look like we were a team on the rise. It was smoke and mirrors. Our schedule was one of the easiest in football. 2009, coach Rah’s first year, we were 27th in total defense, and 32nd against the run. Where are the signs of life? Time to clean house. It is sad that the Glazers are too cheap to take on a QUALIFIED HEAD COACH.

Deck stacked against him from the start, with nothing he does good enough for the fanboys in denial and automatically the fall guy even if someone else is responsible.

Hmm.

The defense has regressed dramatically. It’s time for him to go. Can that joke of an OC Greg Olson too.

The fact that they already have a Lombardi trophy completely discredits your statement.

and 6-6 against the rest of the sked… -25 point differential.

tampa wasnt a “good” team in 2010. they were 1-4 against teams with winning records, the only win a week 17 game the saints didnt need. they did split with the afc north.

this year they drew the afc south (1-2 and -27, jax coming) and nfc north (1-3 and -18).

tampa is 4-7 and -92 (implies they arent really up to 4-7). against winningteams to date they are 2-7. sure the schedule is tougher. maybe yer team simply isnt up to snuff and yer coaching isnt either. only 2 future opponents have winning records now, and one may not need a win in week 17…

tamps is following the path of the ’90s lions. when they played against weak skeds or weak divisions for a year, they won 9-10 games. when they didnt, they won 4-6 games.

i bet tampa wins 5 games this year.

I think you give the guy another year. He’s shown leadership, the players seem to want to play for him, he’s young and will continue to get better with his own experience and as he gets to further understand this young team. I think he should get a third year. After next year, that should be considered as a body of work that he should be judged on.

This team will never be winners with Glazers.

How does that reflect at all on Morris? If anything, it reflects on the firing range and the range safety officer.

It’s not like he held a gun to the head of someone in Alabama. Should we be calling for Hue Jackson’s job?

You can watch Morris make dumb coaching moves every game. With a young team you need an experienced coach. He is not the right coach for this team.

But they were 3-13 in 2009, 10-6 last year, they may be 4-7 now but somewhere they have to realize that Winslow, Freeman, Blount and Mike Williams can’t do it all. They got rid of the best player on their defense in the offseason IMO in Ruud, especially in a signal caller sense.
