Raheem Morris Replacements (IF FIRED): Top Falcons Head Coach Candidates For 2026 NFL Season
[Music] I know what you’re thinking. It hasn’t happened yet, but the writing is on the wall. It is inevitable. Like Thanos, Raheem Morris is absolutely no longer going to be the Falcons head coach in 2026. Welcome in Falcons fans to Falcons today by Chat Sports. My name is Moose. Coming up on today’s show, Raheem Morris replacements for whenever the hammer actually does drop because I have no belief that the front office will keep Raheem Morris after the season’s done. Can we just call a spade a spade? It’s getting worse. The offensive product, the lack of game management, the overall lack of leadership from Raheem and this coaching staff, it continues to get worse. The Falcons players have no buyin with this coaching staff whatsoever. And if you don’t believe me, if you’re like Moose, you’re just grasping at straws. Actually, I’m not. The most recent betting odds have Raheem Morris over guys like Mike McDaniel getting fired. Raheem is a minus 175. If you’re not familiar with the betting game, that pretty much means the overwhelming favorite is going to be Raheem Morris to lose his job next. After that, it’s Jonathan Ganon and Pete Carroll. Both of those teams suck. So, what does that tell you? It’s telling you something. It’s telling you that nobody nobody believes that Raheem Morris deserves to be the coach of this football team. And nobody trusts Zack Robinson leading and developing Michael Penn Jr. and this offense. So, like I said, when it inevitably happens, these are the names, or at least some of the names that I believe the Atlanta Falcons could go after. Let’s start with Brian Flores. Now, these go in no particular order, right? Brian Flores is not my top choice, but I will just give you guys some names. So, this is in no particular order. Brian Flores, the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. Flores and Albrich, by the way, would fit perfectly together. Schematically, they do a lot of very similar things. They like to use a lot of defensive stunts. They like to blitz often. They like to blitz heavy. And they like to have creative blitzes. So, safety blitzes, corner blitzes, different packaging when it comes to their blitzes. There’s a lot that Brian Flores could look at and lick his chops with when it comes to this Falcons pass rush, which is probably, I can’t believe I’m saying it, the best part of this team. Think about that, Falcons fans. We went from last year praying that we got a pass rush, that we could get after the quarterback, and now we’ve got one, and everything else is a show. So, what do we know? The Falcons blitz the most in the NFL. That is a fact. We also know a fact is Flores is a super aggressive blitzer. Aggressive blitzer, sorry. Take two. And then this young core of pass rushers is probably one that he looks at and goes, I can mold this. I can work with this. The Falcons have 29 sacks so far. Last year in 2024, as a total throughout 17 games, they had 31. They’re two away from beating their 2024 totals. I mean, I think that’s pretty incredible, don’t you think? Brian Flores has some amazing traits as well as a head coach. He is a leader of men. He holds his players accountable. He holds himself accountable. Unlike Raheem Morris that just says, “Got to find ways to execute. Got to find ways to get it done. Got to win those football games. Got to get better at third down.” You could pull that freaking string all day long and you’ll have the exact same five answers every single week at the mic. Stupid. He also has some head coaching experience. And also something that needs to be looked upon. He’s worked with a lefty before. Tua, who let’s be completely honest, has one of the worst quarterback traits of all. He’s super injuryprone. Now, Michael Penn Jr. also has some injuries, but not with the concussions like Tua does. So, at least there are some similarities to what the Falcons currently have right now and what the Miami Dolphins had when Flores was their head coach. Before I continue on with the rest of my head coach candidates, do me a favor and get down in the comments section. Who do you want as the next Falcons head coach? If you’re in the live chat right now, spam it down in the live chat. Let’s get this chat right flowing. Coming up next, my Raheem replacement. Oh yes. Now we’re cooking with gas. Clint Kubak, offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. Look, if you would have told me at the beginning of the year that Clint Kubak was going to be in the head coaching like search, I probably would have been like, “Yeah, but is he really a serious candidate?” Boy, was I wrong. This guy is legit. He has one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL. Him, Daniel Jones, and Shane Stiken in Indianapolis are humming. I mean, if you don’t believe me, look at what he’s done with Sam Darnold. And Sam Darnold, yes, I remember last year with Kevin Oonnell in Minnesota. He was awesome, too. But 71% completion percentage, 2200 yards rece or passing, 17 touchdowns, six picks, and a passer rating of 116.5. And why do they have such a high efficient offense? Probably because they actually run a pro style offense. Crazy concept there, Zack. Sorry, Zachary. That’s No, we don’t. We no longer call you Zack Robinson or Z-Rob. You’re Zachary Robinson now. Seattle is the highest team to run under center and play action in the NFL. Bottom five, who’s number 32? The Falcons. Look at the stark difference there. You literally go from 1 to 32. And the results are proving. The results prove it. Quarterback efficiency all-time high for Sam Darnold. Just study this for one second. If you’re in the live chat, notice who’s at the very top right and notice who’s at the bottom left. Yes, JJ McCarthy, Cam Warden, Dylan Gabriel, but Michael Penn is right above Trevor Lawrence. This is clear and obvious to me. This guy knows how to run an NFL offense. And I think he would crush in Atlanta because here’s the one thing that Kubiaak would take the like what does he want from a team? He wants weapons. He wants somebody and a team that he can utilize in the passing game and in the run game. He would absolutely crush in Atlanta. Well, the Falcons have a number one wide receiver in Drake London, one of the best backs in the NFL in Bejian Robinson. We’ll touch on that here in a little bit as well. Before I continue on with the remainder of my head coaching replacements, I got to tell you about my friends over at HelloFresh. Fall is back, my friends.

All of that in the comments and description of today’s video. Moving forward. Oo, interesting. Mike McCarthy. Now, there might be a couple of people that are like, I don’t want Mike McCarthy. Isn’t he unemployed? Didn’t he get fired from Dallas? Yes, but he’s a B+ hiring. He’s the ultimate stabilizer of NFL franchises. Look at what happened when he had Aaron Rodgers. They were relevant for the entirety of Rogers’s tenure in Green Bay. What happened when he went to Dallas? Same thing. They had three straight years of 12 and five. I don’t want to hear for a second that Mike McCarthy can’t coach. Is he Kyle Shanahan? Is he Shawn McVey? Is he Andy Reid, Shawn Payeyton? No, but the last five seasons he’s been excellent. Well, maybe not excellent because 2024 and 2020 had losing records. But if you remember in 2024, Dak was injured for a large majority of that season. You had Cooper Rush as your quarterback and they still went 7-10. Hell, the Falcons might finish 7-10 with Michael Penn Jr., Drake London, and Bejan all healthy. And also, sidebar, 2023, Dak finished second in MVP voting. I think Mike McCarthy knows what to do with quarterbacks. Now, you could make the argument that both of the quarterbacks that Mike McCarthy had are really, really excellent talents. Aaron Rogers, future Hall of Famer. Dak probably the ultimate franchise quarterback. I don’t know if he’s a Hall of Famer, but the ultimate franchise guy. So, just something to think about there. I think Mike McCarthy would be a very good hire. It wouldn’t be a great hire, but it would absolutely bring the Falcons from the mediocrity that they currently live in up to relevancy in 2026.

Spider two wide banana, man. John Gruden. Why not? Why not make a splash play, blow blow, bro? That’s what I meant to say. John Gruden will absolutely be a media circus. Now, we want real head coaches. We don’t just want the media attention, but Gruden is a master motivator. He’s also been very clear he wants to coach again. There’s been a lot of rumors that he might be going to college to coach Arkansas or maybe Penn State or even LSU. But I do think the NFL is his home. It’s what he’s most comfortable with. He’s won a Super Bowl, hell, in the exact same division. And here’s him with Jackson Dart. There’s a lot of speculation that he could get the Giants job after Brian Dable got fired, but I’m willing to bypass that. I think John Gruden wants to be somewhere where people want John Gruden. I think he would come into remember he was with the Raiders. The Raiders are always starving for good football. Their fan base is just like the Falcons. They crave it. They crave it. So, I think Gruden could look at this and say, “I’m ready to write the wrongs that I had in Las Vegas and join the Atlanta Falcons with a plethora of options and talent, excuse me. And remember, one more thing before we wrap up our uh little list here. John Gruden is old school. He loves to run the football. Like, loves to run the football. He loves running backs that have talent. Well, who’s the ultimate talent running back in the NFL? Be jean. Just something to chew on there. Maul over. Think about for a little bit. But I think it would be excellent to hire John Gruden. That’s going to do it for us on today’s episode.

Falcons fans – Who do you want as the next Falcons head coach?
Because Raheem Morris is black
Jon Gruden is white maybe he can coach the Falcons and Brian Flores is black
I would take a Matt Lafleur as a HC, and Mike McDaniels as the OC. Keep Brick as DC. But thats dreaming.
Hired Tina Fey to be the head coach of the Falcons
Tina Fey is a good fit for the Atlanta Falcons to be the next head coach?
Tina fey and Colin Jost from SNL to be the next head coach
Matt Ryan and Tina fey are both from Pennsylvania
Tina Fey the head coach and Matt Ryan the defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons
Tina Fey the next head coach it's not gonna happen for Arthur Blank
Cousins need to leave as well
Kris Kingberry
You damn right, Raheem Morris will be done and gone at the end of the season. I think the guy in Cincinnati. I'm not familiar with Klint Kubiak . We doen't want Gruden
Morris is a good coach maybe not head coach but a good DC.The issues with Atlanta is with the really poor decisions made by the front office..You need a new GM a new Head Coach and a new QB
Flores as the Head Coach and Mike McDaniels as the OC. He can keep Ulbrich as the DC.
😂😂😂 Raheem Morris got the best firing odds. Please no more DC as head coach. The pass rush is overrated because now they can't stop the run.
Mannn you was doing soo good until you mention Gruden. He is in a lawsuit against the NFL!!! There is NO WAY a team will touch him with that going on. The commissioner might not even let him back in the league to coach. Whether Gruden wants to coach or not…he is NOT a great fit for the Falcons. Gruden likes to run the ball. Might as well bring Arthur Smith back because he likes to do the same. Plus he had a subpar team compared to current team and was 7-10 for 3 years. We’d be lucky to get 5 wins this year. So Gruden=X
Gruden
What about Todd Monken??
Morris isn't going anywhere. He will get Zac to fall on there sword at the end of the year. He will get a another "second chance" in hiring a new no-name and unproven OC. It will not work and we'll waste another season of our best player's careers.
