Whatever the case may be, Raheem Morris has had success as a coordinator as well as head coach. By any objective measure, this is a move with some upside. Does Morris need to tweak his coaching style, yeah probably. All coaches go through some kind of learning curve. Tom Coughlin, with his disciplinarian ways a few seasons ago, almost lost his locker room and the Giants were "doomed". The players quit, tuned him out, blah blah. Tom Coughlin adjusted his style and the Giants are consistently in the playoffs and have a Super Bowl ring to boot. We have such short memories sometimes.

To be clear, I'm not making any direct coaching comparisons between Raheem Morris and Tom Coughlin, but just because Morris' team supposedly quit on him last season is by no means the end of this guy or any reflection of how successful he can be in the long run.

The truth is our secondary hasn't been the same since Sean Taylor passed away. We've been replacing this guy and that guy for the past four years. I like the Morris move and hopefully it will encourage Laron Landry to give it another go and stay with the Redskins.
