The Glazer family and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced today that they have fired coach Raheem Morris after his third year and a dismal 4-12 record. There will be a press conference today at 1 Buc Place in Tampa to announce their intentions. Former Titans coach, Jeff Fisher, stayed at the same hotel as the Buccaneers over the weekend in Atlanta, although he denied rumors that he was job seeking. Fisher claimed that he visited Atlanta because his son was playing there in a bowl game.
More news after the conference at 3:00 PM.
Update: Here is a recent Tweet from Bucs Co-Chairman Joel Glazer:
“We want to thank Coach Morris for all his hard work and dedication as head coach of the Buccaneers.”
Update 1:34 PM Bucs announce via Twitter that they will receive 5th overall pick in the first round of the draft next year and alternate between 4th and 5th for the remaining rounds. I guess that's the prize for having such a crappy year. More news to follow after 3:00 PM
