Rams Have Left Morris In Dark

Posted Jan 6, 2009 by Roy Cummings

TAMPA – If the Rams really do have an interest in talking to Raheem Morris about their vacant head coach’s job, they have a funny way of showing it.

Though it’s been reported that the Rams have asked for and received permission to speak with Morris, they have yet to contact Morris.

“I seriously have not heard,’’ Morris said in a response to a text message about the situation.

It’s possible that the Rams, knowing Morris was returning to Tampa following his interview in Denver, haven’t gotten around to calling Morris yet.

Or it could be that the Rams are simply lining up alternate candidates and will call Morris at a later date, should the need arise.

What makes us wonder is the fact that Rams executives were asked just 48 hours ago about Morris and expressed no interest or desire to interview him.

That seemed to change when the report about the Rams interest in Morris came out earlier in the day on NFL.com.

The truth of the matter, though, is that no one, including Morris, really seems to know for sure whether Morris is really up for this job or not.

As soon as we get something concrete on it we’ll let you know. Until then we’ll continue to wait for confirmation from Morris, the Bucs and or the Rams.
