Whatever the LA Rams had agreed to pay new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, they are getting a bargain. Morris cannot really catch a break here. If he has a great defense? He inherited it. If he has a bad defense? That dude can’t coach a lick. And if he has a so-so defense? The scrutiny will only amplify.
Is there any situation more difficult than replacing someone who has just gone out on top? Rock bands who must follow a blazingly hot act on stage, perhaps. It’s even more daunting if you know you’re taking over the reins from someone who was highly respected and successful.
