Raheem Morris is the @AtlantaFalcons new Head Coach and his story is one of perseverance. He spent 13 years coaching on both sides of the ball after his last full time head coaching opportunity and embodies what it means to never give up on your dreams. His players will love him. pic.twitter.com/v2UODThu89

Arthur Blank has always preached diversity, now his actions back up his words. In addition to GM Terry Fontenot, Raheem Morris will be the first black head coach in Falcons history

Rams GM Les Snead had a ton of great things to say about Raheem Morris: “Great human being. The guy is coded to respect everyone… It’s a super power that would help any organization. He’s a highly intelligent individual, and happened to choose football.”pic.twitter.com/kCnKPq98Rd
