This is a awesome hire if it happens. Great leader and turned the Falcons around to a decent team once he was coaching.

I don't know if he is married to it but he certainly has had most of his coaching upbringing in the 4-3. Particularly the ole cover 2. But there's an old connection between him and McVay with Gruden back at Tampa Bay so that makes sense at least.
But I agree this would make for an interesting offseason if that's who we hire. We don't have a lot of traditional 4-3 ends on our roster. Morgan Fox if we can resign him. That's all I can think of off the top of my head who fits the classic 4-3 mold size wise. Lewis and Obo are undersized probably. Idk, will have to see I suppose.
Don't tell me we got another rebuild on our hands.
I cant see McVay changing from a wildly successful new scheme after just one year, so he obviously feels that Morris can keep some sort of continuity going.
Surprised Pleasant isnt getting the promotion. I hope we dont lose the really good assistant coaches who have clearly been contributing to our defensive success (Pleasant, Henderson, Evero etc)

That would be a really stupid thing to do. 3rd round picks are nice but they arent so nice that you dont hire the right guy for the job.
I mean he could be "right enough". But maybe that adds a little incentive.
On one hand, I think it's a great hire. Morris really turned the Falcons around when he took over. On the other hand, if he does well here, I guarantee he's a NFL HC after the season. But there are much worse outcomes than that. Morris is not married to a traditional 4-3 Cover 2. That was what he ran when he was HC because he came up under Monte Kiffin. Since that time, he has coached under people who have run a traditional 3-4 scheme and Pete Carroll's multiple scheme (tends to look like a 4-3 but uses personnel from the 3-4).
With Morris, I would expect our defense to be multiple, which is just fine.

Let’s not forget more comp picks if he gets promoted after next year. The more I read about him post Tampa the more I like the hire.
