I'm not saying that's the reason, but it's been a well publicized issue. There are dozens of articles from last year about it. But it also might have nothing to to with this - could be because he's just running Staley's scheme and he doesn't have a resume of designing a defense. But he has head coaching experience and his players seem to love him.
I just don't think you can use - he didn't get poached as an insult. No one on this board knows why. Why is Jeff Saturday a head coach right now? Why did Matt Rhule get a head coaching job? Or Urban Meyer. Lots of teams make bad head coaching decisions, so not picking someone doesn't necessarily reflect on their potential.
I get what you are saying and agree to a degree but by "not being picked" while almost everyone else "was" being picked from the McVay tree tells me a lot.
The "McVay Tree" is not your average "tree". His staff has been raided more than anyone's I can think of in recent times. People with far less experience and qualifications than Morris have been "picked".
It might not reflect on his "potential" but it does reflect on how other teams feel about him IMO. If there was one single team out there that thought Morris would help them improve, why wouldn't they?
It was reported that he only had like one interview request last year while coaches with far less experience than him got hired instead.
So, considering the very "ripe fruit" from the McVay tree and the abundance of teams that needed help, there wasn't any interest in Morris and that is a good reason to ask why.
Rhule and Saturday are good examples of people I would deem "less than qualified" than Morris but still got HC jobs and that reinforces my question as to why.
Morris has experience at just about everything and still no takers. It doesn't make sense to me and I am not his biggest fan for our DC. So in a way, I guess I am kind of complimenting Morris. lol
I honestly think it's a fair question to ask.
Appreciate the good conversation!
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
