Job security not on Raheem Morris' mind

Via Bucs Beat  |  November 30, 2011
The Bucs have lost five consecutive games and could fall substantially short of their 10-6 mark last season. But coach Raheem Morris said his job security (or lack thereof) hasn’t been something he’s dwelled on. “I am not an insurance salesman,” Morris cracked. “We coach football.” He then added, “We are not in the business of being concerned about job security.

It was a telling remark by Bucs head coach Raheem Morris, though not one that should come as any real surprise.

For the Bucs, it's about finishing

Via Bucs Beat  |  November 28, 2011
One of Bucs coach Raheem Morris' biggest points of emphasis this season was finishing games. Tampa Bay had done so well last year of winning games, late, with "Captain Comeback" QB Josh Freeman and his fourth-quarter abilities. But one of the main problems for the Bucs (4-7) this year has been finishing, with Morris saying they've had three games this year where...

Will Raheem Morris last as Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach?

Via Buc Stop  |  November 30, 2011
The Houston game began the application of heat; up until that point the Bucs 3 out of 4 game losing streak was irritating, nauseating, but ultimately the games were close in the end, and you could point to a play here, a play there, and maybe you win. Then Houston Happened, and it was a page right out of Sam Wyche’s 1994. The players quit, they loafed, they were unaccountable...
