Falcons' Coaching Decisions Under Scrutiny Amid Struggles

The Atlanta Falcons are grappling with a difficult season, currently sitting at 4-9 after Week 14. According to Niner Noise, the Falcons have only secured one victory since their loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, raising questions about head coach Raheem Morris's future.

Morris, who has been at the helm since 2024 and previously served as interim head coach in 2020, faces scrutiny for the team's performance, especially following the ACL injury to quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

Despite having a strong relationship with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, who admires Morris's coaching abilities, the Falcons may need to consider a change if their struggles continue. Shanahan has expressed respect for Morris, hinting that he would be interested in bringing him onto his staff if he becomes available due to a potential firing.

The Falcons' ongoing collapse could lead to significant coaching changes, especially with the 49ers potentially looking for a new defensive coordinator if Robert Saleh is hired as a head coach elsewhere, opening the door for Shanahan to reunite with Morris.
