Some of these commenters definitely did not watch the full video. Peter king literally explained the rationale behind the hire, y’all are just yapping and complaining. No one knows how this hire will pan out. Remember how many people hated Mike McDaniel getting hired in Miami? You think they still feel that way now? Give Rah a fair shot, then judge him on performance and the big picture impact of the hire (ex. Coordinator hires, roster management, draft decisions, player development, etc). People who don’t know ball seem to always be the loudest smh.

As a Falcons fan I'm okay with the hire of Morris over Belichick. Either way the decisions about who will be OC and QB are far more critical. And in that I think Morris had the edge. He hired Zac Robinson, a McVay tree guy. Getting a McVay/Shanahan offense installed is a higher likelihood of success than Josh McDaniels (w/o Tom Brady) would have been. And as for the Rams promoting Morris to get picks, I think it's possible for two things to be true at the same time. Any time you turnover coaches you run the risk of backsliding. But the Rams very well could bring Ejiro Evero back as DC. And McVay calls the plays, so they don't suffer by losing Robinson. But they can also be fans of Morris and want him to get a chance as a HC. Plus Les Snead was with the Falcons, so he's not going to try to dupe Arthur Blank in order to get picks. It can be a win-win for both.

He's a LOM. Thats nice. Hopefully he's also a WOG. winner of games.

Time will tell if he’s the right fit

This hire was made to save the fucking executives who were gonna be fired under BB. The franchise will never change

We simply need GM's to be color blind when it comes to drafting.

I speak the truth unlike some of these former NFL players who couldnt coach a peewee team.

Attn. former nfl players Raheem Morris isnt Vince Lombardi

This is not the right man for the job. Why every one thinks that he got what it takes is beyond me. He didn't worth a crapp with the buks or the Falcons. Look it up. He doesn't have what it takes to be a head coach. There goes another 3-5 years of expirament. Sick and tired of this.

The players loved Arthur Smith too…

When he was H.C. in T.B.he was telling the players what was going on at the owners meetings during the lockout or strike and lying to his boss and backstabbing him,but you are not suppose to know about that. He`s the leader of nothing but will never be criticized.

The easy pick

He is exactly what his record says he is and that is a man with a 30 percent winning percentage that is way beyond horrible! I wish people would shut up acting like he is a god. He has not ever led a team to any playoff or title and he has had chances already. This is another bad decision from an organization that hired Arthur Smith you can't get much worse than that. Falcons have been losers for 6 straight years it is not the time for experiments they should have hired a proven winner

This is the same talking point every time a mid-tier coordinator who offers no schematic advantage gets a head job. Falcons doing Falcons things. It's the most under-the-radar horrible franchise in the league.

Get a qb and Raheem(first black coach in team history) will win us a Super Bowl!

Not really a winning coach

Dumb rule and dumb take. Just pick the coach you want. Don't worry about the color.

How does NBC and all the producers and whoever allow Peter King to sit there week after week with such a nasty curmudgeon glare on his face?? Is it cuz he’s been in his position for 50 years?? Surrounded by yes men?? That’s all I can think of but how unpleasant. He always looks like someone peeled out in his driveway

I think Morris to the Falcons means Baker Mayfield will be a Falcon next year. It's safe to assume Morris would bring in a Ram OC, a system which Baker has had success in. The Bucs OC is going to Carolina, so does Baker really want to risk sticking around? Not to mention the Bucs may not be able to afford him. Just makes too much sense
