"The Falcons are winding down their eighth straight season without a playoff berth, moving Morris onto a hot seat. A report from early December pointed to Atlanta making another HC change, but the team has since won three straight games. The Falcons have beaten the Buccaneers, Cardinals and Rams, but they are still guaranteed to finish with a losing record."
"Arthur Blank, who drew considerable scrutiny after backing off his initial Bill Belichick preference to hire Morris, has hired a consulting firm and is evaluating his football operations after the 4-9 start. Blank gave Arthur Smith three seasons - all with 7-10 records - and fired Quinn after a slow start followed two straight playoff absences. A defensive coach who did spend time on the offensive side of the ball during his first Atlanta stint, Morris has overseen a significant pass-rushing improvement this season"
Raheem Morris is completing his second year as Atlanta Falcons head coach following a previous five-year stint and a 2020 interim head-coaching role. The Falcons will finish another losing season but have won their last three games. Owner Arthur Blank hired a consulting firm to evaluate football operations after a 4-9 start. Atlanta ranks second in the NFL with 53 sacks, reflecting improved pass rush under Morris, yet overall results remain disappointing. Potential changes include offensive coordinator Zac Robinson and special teams coach Marquice Williams, with major staff turnover possible whether Morris remains head coach or not.
