The NFL’s hiring cycle has brought about several head coaching candidates from the Los Angeles Rams’ staff once again this year. Raheem Morris is among them, landing an interview with the Minnesota Vikings on Friday.
The Rams defensive coordinator is in his first season with Los Angeles and although there was a drop-off from last year’s top-ranked defense, the Rams were excellent under Morris’ guidance this season. The Rams finished the regular season fifth in defense DVOA, which is only one spot lower than where they were in 2020.
Morris, who was previously a head coach with the Buccaneers from 2009-2011, deserves another shot at leading a team. Just ask Jalen Ramsey what he thinks of Morris as a head coaching candidate.
