Morris is an interesting idea. I don't know I would be excited for him as our hire. He wasn't in the greatest situation when he was with the Bucs. The team was kinda in a funk and ownership seemed more interested in their bigger investment. Namely one big name British football team that wears no pads and short pants. I don't know how much support he was given. As far as players statements go. Seemed they respected him more then the owners or the fans.
He is probably deserving another chance.
