Speaking on 620 WDAE this morning, Morris talked about how he felt the time for the Bucs to spend in free agency was coming. “Right now is the time for those guys to spend money in free agency and they did. They are certainly committed to winning, they’ve done a great job,” the former head coach said. “It’s something you sort of knew was coming and could expect. You just like for it to happen on your time, unfortunately it didn’t. It is what it is.” Morris also spoke on the critics that said the Bucs quit towards the end of the season.
