The Atlanta Falcons fired Raheem Morris last night for a multitude of reasons, but it ultimately comes down to on-field performance. As much as Arthur Blank might respect Morris as a human being, another playoff-less year when they had the division handed to them on a silver platter is inexcusable.
The original belief was that the 49-year-old saved his job by ending the season with a four-game win streak, but that was quickly debunked. However, NFL Insider Dianna Russini reported that Morris is expected to interview with teams for some of the six head coaching openings that became available.
