Rumblings about Raheem

There are rumblings going on around Tampa Bay that Raheem Morris, coach of the Buccaneers is on his last leg and will be fired shortly. 

I think that is unfair to a guy that is given few tools to work with and told to produce a playoff caliber team.  When you get rid of guys like Barrett Ruud and put in college rookies, you are asking for trouble. 

Another thing that hurt the team was the injury of Earnest Graham.  Here is a guy that has been underutilized his whole career.  It's not a coincidence that the team started going downhill after his injury.  Even Jon Gruden had trouble utilizing this player.  Graham is a back that should probably have a couple thousand more rushing yards to his resume.

Anyways, if they do let Raheem go, I'm sure he'll end up elsewhere and probably turn out to be a good coach.  If they are going to bring in another rookie coach, then I say keep Raheem another year.  If they can get a guy like Bill Cowher, then it may make sense to make a move to re-energize the Tampa Bay Buccaneer fanbase.
