Raheem Morris was chosen by the Atlanta Falcons as their new head coach following a thorough evaluation of several applicants, according to the latest report from The Comeback. Arthur Smith resigned from the role, which led to this decision.

Experienced Coach Raheem Morris Leads the Falcons

The new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons is Raheem Morris, who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009 to 2011. He took over for a portion of the 2020 campaign, finishing with a 4–7 record.

Despite Morris’ strong 2020 season, the Falcons chose to hire Arthur Smith as their head coach, despite Smith’s three-year record of 7-10 wins per season.

Morris has held a variety of coaching positions with the Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay, and Atlanta, where he served as both the passing game coordinator and associate head coach.
