Atlanta Falcons Reunited With Raheem Morris Making Him Head Coach
As R&B duo Peaches & Herb once sang, “Reunited and it feels so good!” The Atlanta Falcons reunited with Raheem Morris making him their 19th head coach. He had previously been with the team from 2015 – 2020. Morris started as the assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator. He held other positions until he became interim head coach when Dan Quinn was fired in 2020. And now he has returned as the official head coach in 2024.
Owner Arthur Blank released the following statement:
“This is a historic day for the Atlanta Falcons – after a comprehensive search we are thrilled to welcome Raheem Morris back to Atlanta as the team’s new head coach,” Blank said. “With 26 years of experience in the NFL, including the last three in an outstanding organization. That has won our league’s championship in that time, Raheem emerged from a field of excellent candidates. And is the right leader to take our team into the future. His time in LA has given him an enhanced perspective on everything from personnel, team operations, game planning, working with an outstanding offensive staff and many other things that has helped him develop into an even more prepared coach in all aspects of the game. I believe his leadership skills have grown and his understanding of what it takes to have a highly collaborative one-team culture are now at a much higher level.”
Morris was with the Los Angeles Rams during the last three seasons. Including their 2021 Super Bowl season winning against the Bengals. He was with the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers as head coach from 2009 – 2011. So he has plenty of experience coaching in the NFC South. Further he has worked on both sides of the ball. However, he is mostly known for his defensive prowess.
Atlanta Falcons Reunited With Raheem Morris As Head Coach
“I am overjoyed for the opportunity for my family and I to return to Atlanta as the Falcons head coach,” said Morris. “We know from firsthand experience what a first-class organization Atlanta is. And what this team means to its city and its fans. I am incredibly appreciative of Arthur Blank for his leadership. And for this entire organization for putting its trust in me to help lead this team. I can’t thank the Rams organization enough for the experience and opportunity with the team. From the Kroenke family, Kevin Demoff, Les Snead, Sean McVay and the entire staff, the Rams are a first-class organization all around. We loved our time in LA, loved the fans and know the Rams continue to have a very bright future.”
Clearly he’s happy to be back in the fold. Congratulations!
