I dont want Raheem to get the DC job, I would rather have Phillips or Schwartz from the ones available now. Fangio might jump to the top of the list if he is let go. But all of this stuff about Morris in Tampa is somewhat diluted. His last year, Tampa cut everyone and went with an MLS payroll (and they werent talented before stripping the team down. It was BA's players they were dropping right and left). That last year for Morris in Tampa, they had all of about 5 players that could have been substitutes on other teams. The rest didnt belong in the NFL. The roster moves that Tampa was making at that time made it pretty obvious they were moving on from Raheem a year or two before they actually did. They just didnt want to bring in the new coach only to watch him fail so they let Raheem be the fall guy.

Again, I dont want him to get the DC job, I havent been impressed with his work here. While our defense lacks serious talent, they always played as bad or worse than said talent, no overachieving whatsoever which is what the good coaches can get out of their players (sadly half of you are going to view this post as a Raheem is the greatest ever post). But at least judge the whole Tampa Bay organization as to the handling of the uncapped year, dont just make crap up to justify your position. We were redoing contracts to pull money into the uncapped year. Tampa was blowing the doors off of the cap floor by dropping so far underneath it. They came into the year following the uncapped year with something like 60 or 70 mil in cap space.

For all the talk about this college team or that college team could beat the worst NFL team, its rarely true. But that Tampa team was a college team.
