'Young McVay': Raheem Morris Reveals Why He Hired Zac Robinson As Falcons Offensive Coordinator

So why Robinson? According to Morris, it was in part because the 37-year-old reminds him of two of the best play callers in today's NFL - 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, and Rams head coach Sean McVay.

"I was around the young Kyle Shanahan, and I saw him develop," Morris said. "I saw Sean McVay when he was really young, and I saw him develop. Start naming names - Mike McDaniel, Steve Sarkisian ... I see him in the same light."

It is high praise for Robinson to be compared to two of the best offensive play-callers in the league today, Rams McVay and 49ers' Shanahan. As Morris noted, he worked with each of them.

His first stint in Atlanta, under then-coach Dan Quinn, saw him spend two years (2015-16) working alongside Shanahan, who served as the offensive coordinator before getting his current job with the Niners. 

Then, fast forward a few years, Morris worked under McVay as his defensive coordinator for three seasons in Los Angeles.

If that isn't a strong enough endorsement, then the fact that Morris has entrusted Robinson with arguably the most important position on his coaching staff should show how highly thought of the 37-year-old is.
