Don't know, but Dan Quinn was a hot name until Dallas flamed out in the playoffs. He was successful at Atlanta but got canned after and 0-5 start in 2020. Even still, he left there with a winning record. Morris was the interim coach at the end of 2020 and they choose not to give him a shot at the HC gig going with Smith instead. Maybe they were looking for some who has HC experience and was familiar with the organization and a little bit of maybe we should have tried this three years ago.
i said guys who have failed. Don't think Harbaugh failed as a head coach in the pros
Harbaugh doesn't fit the failed coach criteria. 44-19-1 as SF HC. Worst record was 8-8. 3 playoff appearances, 2 division titles, and a SB appearance.
Both Belichick and Pete Carroll (twice actually) were recycled coaches who failed in their first stints.
Some guys just need another go around. Learning from mistakes the first time around, if they do, could be helpful. Maybe Morris is one of those guys.
Dude's really smart. He's waiting for a perfect job or he's going to make a **** ton of money for an imperfect job.
