The Atlanta Falcons appointed Raheem Morris as their head coach and there is no “interim” in the title this time.

Morris once was named the Falcons interim head coach on Oct. 12, 2020, one day after the organization parted ways with Dan Quinn.

Atlanta had 11 games remaining in the 2020 season at the time. They went 0-5 under Quinn, then 4-7 with Raheem Morris in charge.

Hence, Thursday’s announcement is actually a welcome back to Morris. He also becomes the first Black full-time Black head coach in franchise history.

In a statement, Morris said he was happy for the opportunity and thanked the Los Angeles Rams (his former club) for the experience.

He returns to Atlanta after three seasons (2021-23) as the Rams defensive coordinator. The Rams went 12-5, 5-12, and 10-7 during that span.

Los Angeles also won the Super Bowl in 2021, with a defense that ranked No. 6 in rushing yards allowed, No. 17 in total yards allowed, and No. 22 in passing yards allowed.

The Falcons’ last playoff seasons occurred during Raheem Morris’ tenure during 2016-17. In 2016, Atlanta lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

In the following year, they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round. Now, the Falcons’ 19th head coach has a lot to do.
