Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris said he intends to be coaching in some capacity with an organization next season. Morris visited the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings last week. "With Washington, it was more of an offer, but I also felt great coming out of my talks with Minnesota," Morris said. "We should know something pretty soon because you can see jobs shaking out all over the league right now. I'll be back somewhere next season. I'm not going to just stay at home – I don't have that in me. I'm a football coach and we do what we do."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris said he does not think he should be fired because the team decided to go young with its roster and build a team that way. "We made a collective agreement to go young when we took over this program,'' Morris said. "That's something we wanted to do. In order to upgrade in certain positions, sometimes you got to get worse before you get better. Going out and getting a young middle linebacker was something we decided to do and we did it. Whether or not at the beginning we both were on the same page or all four of us were on the same page, including the Glazers, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, we decided to do it and we went out and did it.''

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris ejected DL Brian Price from the field after a personal foul penalty in Week 13. "Yes, I sent him to the locker room," Morris said. "I told him go home. Yeah. Because it's foolish, it's selfish to your teammates, to everybody in your organization, to your fans. That's terrible. That's just selfish behavior to get a 15-yard penalty, in that situation, when that's all we talk about, when that's all we discuss. You just can't do that to your team."

Morris said, "I see ourselves keeping three, but I don't want to rule anything out. Like I said before, I can only keep 53 [players]. If those four quarterbacks are the best guys on the unit, then I may have to break the rules. We've got to keep the guys on our team that we think will help us win."

Morris said, "Kellen Winslow, and I talked about this to the team so there is not talking behind the team's back, but Kellen Winslow catches a pass. He is hyped up and gets the crowd going. He throws it down behind his back, spin it, flip it, and gets the crowd relied up. Then he drops one, puts his head down, and walks back to the huddle. That is part of riding the emotional roller coaster that we don't want to do. You have to be the same no matter what." Morris added, "Oh, he's definitely talented, but I'm also starting to get an idea of the problems he's had. But I think it's the first time anyone has ever addressed him, talked to him about it."

Morris said, "Today, I thought our offensive tempo was just not up to par. I didn't like it at all. I didn't like it coming out of the huddle, I didn't like the way we came off the ball up front, I didn't like the procedure from the quarterbacks to the team, nothing." Morris suggested the root of the team's offensive problems started from the lackluster performance of the offensive line. However, the team's quarterbacks also didn't play very well.
