Finally, the Falcons went with Raheem Morris out of 14 candidates for what Clean described as a “number of causes.”
Following Morris’ hiring, experiences indicated Clean wished the legendary head coach however reversed course on account of Belichick’s calls for and the myriad of adjustments he wished to make.
