It’s nothing like putting your coaching  job on the line. Coach Raheem Morris is not running from all of the criticism and skepticism with his team out of the playoff race.

His plan is to beat all of the other teams remaining on the schedule this season, especially, if they have playoff aspirations. With Josh Freeman finally healthy, he wants to end the Cowboys season by beating them this week. He is the rare coach who is loved by fans in South Florida for giving many troubled players second chances like LeGarrette Blount and Mike Williams, but with several off the field issues this season, there have been quite a bit of questions surrounding his ability to effectively issue discipline.

To give you an idea of his focus and plan this week, he recently stated, “But for us, man, it’s a mentally tough business. It is move on. It is next opponent. It’s next man up. It’s the Dallas Cowboys. … For me, a chance to ruin (Cowboys coach) Jason Garrett’s season, and let you talk about him.”

You have to love a little pregame bulletin board material and trash talk from a head coach. It should make the game very intense between the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week.

HOPE? Let's Hope change begins New Years Day

Lets all hope this 2011 season can be remembered for one thing: Lessons learned by the Glazer brothers who own the franchise. Fans who watched the car wreck disguised as a football game last night want to blame it all on Raheem Morris. Morris is too nice of a guy to take all the blame. He is responsible for his share, no doubt. His players, the same ones who were the 'best team...

Buccaneers Coach Raheem Morris Makes Case For Aqib Talib To Return In 2012

Aqib Talib has a trial looming in March for felony assault with a deadly weapon and injuries that have cut each of his last two seasons short by about five games. But there is no reason to think the shutdown cornerback will be shut out of One Buc Place in 2012. At least not according to coach Raheem Morris, whose future also is in doubt following eight straight losses. Talib, 25...

Yet again, Morris calls effort into question

BY ROY CUMMINGS The Tampa Tribune TAMPA – Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris has a code he asks his players to live by. The first two words of it are “play hard.’’ For the third time this year Sunday, Morris had to admit his players didn’t…

Raheem Morris, Steve Spagnuolo Safe for Now

According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network,  both Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris and Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo are safe for now.  LaCanfora indicated that if the Rams and Bucs decide to fire Morris and Spagnuolo as their current head coaches,  it won’t come until the end of the season. From the looks [...]

Dominik’s Mystery Headset

During Saturday’s game, I saw the cuts to Mark Dominik in the box with a set of binoculars, but hadn’t noticed he was wearing a coach’s headset. Apparently he was and some people have made a deal about it. The Times took a second to debunk it. Dominik has always watched games from the box and wears a headset because he assists Raheem Morris with determining when to make replay...

Prime Time comment of Bucs quitting doesn't sit with T Trueblood

At halftime of the Bucs 31-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night, NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders said the Bucs had quit on coach Raheem Morris. At the time, Tampa Bay trailed 28-0, had only first down and had yielded 60 unanswered points dating back to the loss at Jacksonville Dec. 11. But Bucs tackle Jeremy Trueblood disagrees with Prime Time's observation, noting...

Fennelly: Hard to believe the Bucs once had a 4-2 record

It being Christmas time, maybe Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, having given a vote of confidence to his own head coach, Jason Garrett, could have given Raheem Morris one, too.

Talib's season-ending injury could be first of many changes in Bucs secondary

When the Bucs on Monday placed cornerback Aqib Talib on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury, it was more than just a routine transaction. Although it was rather apparent Talib might be headed to I.R. given his inability to play for most of the past three weeks, there’s a bigger context here. Talib’s season-ending injury could be the first in a series of dominoes to...
