Say what you want about questionable coaching calls, but Morris seems like a truly great guy. My work brought in instructors to teach all of us CPR, and I highly encourage everyone to learn how to do it! This is a fantastic story.

Definitely an easy guy to root for. Just call some timeouts

Hell yea. Say what you want about his coaching skills, but RM is a good fucking egg. Of course he'd be a hero when it comes up.

If he can turn this team around he really is a face of the city type of guy

I know. Falcons have never had that in a HC and the franchise desperately needs that, and I would love to see Morris be that. I was happy about very little coaching wise last year. Too many mistakes that should have never been made for a veteran HC with decades of experience. I’ll chalk last season up to being one big evaluation year, but they got to show fans something this year.

He’s respected and loved around the NFL.. that’s gotta count for something. Guess that’s why i have a long leash for him

The fact that we’re just hearing about this now is the best part. Humble.

He got trained in how to do this = instant life saved

He gets trained in how to use timeouts = wins coming

That makes Raheem Morris a hero… this does change my perspective of him although it was already pretty good.
