NFL Rumors on Raheem Morris' Potential Landing Spots After Falcons Exit

Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has reportedly received interest from several teams.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Morris is expected to interview with the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans regarding their respective head coaching vacancies.

He served as coach of the Falcons over the past two seasons before he was fired by the team on Sunday.

Morris was previously head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009-11 and had a stint as Atlanta's interim head coach in 2020.

The Falcons went 8-9 under him in both 2024 and 2025. They ended their 2025 campaign on a four-game win streak, but it wasn't enough to save Morris' job.

He ultimately couldn't help Atlanta secure a playoff spot after narrowly missing the postseason in several recent years, although short-term expectations will be different for the three teams reportedly interested in him.

The Giants, Cardinals and Titans have all struggled mightily as of late. They've each recorded at least 11 losses in three of the past four seasons.

Arizona and Tennessee both finished at 3-14 in 2025, while New York compiled a 4-13 record.

They're all looking to make improvements defensively during the offseason, an area in which Morris could help. He served as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams during their 2021 Super Bowl season and also won a championship as a defensive assistant with the Buccaneers.

The Giants, Titans and Cardinals ranked No. 26, No. 28 and No. 29 in scoring defense among all teams last season respectively.

As they attempt to climb up their division standings in 2026, Morris appears to be an option.
