Raheem Morris is outta here

Don’t be surprised to see Raheem Morris driving on I-75 in a U-Haul truck folks, as the Bucs’ coach of three years was fired yesterday, after leading the Buccaneers to another unsuccessful season which ended in a staggering 10 straight losing streak.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Glazer family for the opportunity they gave me to be the Head Coach of the Buccaneers,” Morris said in a statement his agent provided to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. “I was honored and blessed to have spent the majority of my coaching career with the same (class) organization. I grew up with the Bucs and I was fortunate enough to be part of a Super Bowl victory there.”

The city, apparently, is not hurting at all by this decision, as many people to to Twitter and Facebook expressing their relief over the removal of Morris with high hopes that a better, more mature coach will replace him. His age was purported to be a large factor in the Buc’s failure, not being able to give the young players the correct mentorship required, unlike Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, whose age has not faltered against the behemoth team.

So will the Bucs finally see some sunlight next season? We can only hope so, maybe ESPN will even care about our games again. Dammit man
