The problem is, it may be done for you. I agree with Raheem's sentiment. You don't go from being one of the hottest young coaches in the league to pure garbage in one year. Only in a talk-show, 24-7 media-driven environment (which we live in today) would this even remotely be under consideration.
Unfortunately, it's easier to replace a head coach (and staff and coaching systems and philosophies) than it is to replace 53 players. Or is it? Seems like that type of upheaval would be more stressful to an organization. And the new boss generally ends up turning over the roster -- in effect replacing the 53 guys -- within a couple of years anyway.
This is the news-cycle driven, analysis by the water-cooler type of environment that players, coaches and management have to deal with. Heck, Tebow went from 5th string to Pro-Bowl alternate in the space of one season, so somebody had their analysis wrong. Same here.
The Bucs would be wise to tune out the media jibber-jabber and go with what they see on the field, in the locker room and in meetings everyday.
Keep Raheem.
Raheem Morris of Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- 'I will never fire myself' - ESPN:
"Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris made it clear Monday that he feels he shouldn't be made the scapegoat for his underperforming team, currently in the midst of a nine-game losing streak.
"I will never fire myself," Morris told reporters. "You don't go from being a coach of the year candidate to being the worst coach in the league to getting fired within a year.""
