Finish The Story: Raheem Morris’ journey back to being a head coach in a city where he belongs

Reunions rarely happen in the NFL. With how rapidly the league changes and how ego-driven it can be, the prospect of a coach or player returning to a team is usually unlikely. Each franchise aims to be forward-thinking in identifying the next leader to build their vision of a championship team. The coach or player focuses on finding a fresh start to put themselves in a position to succeed. For once, that wasn’t the case for Arthur Blank and Raheem Morris.

There always seemed to be a genuine bond between both men. Blank is known for being incredibly loyal to those he hires as head coach, providing them with ample opportunities to overcome adversity.
