Re: KC BBQ'd Hot Takes: The career of Addison Morris
Breaking news, that is actually, not kidding, first reported by Adam Schefter. The Chiefs have found their new head coach, Addison Morris. Morris has been the head coach at Marietta College, a division three school in Ohio, the past five seasons and had a 32-23 record. Coach Morris took over a Pioneers program that had only won twelve games the previous five years. Chiefs’ owner Thomas Koop said that out all the candidates they interviewed, Coach Morris stood above the rest.
“Coach Morris exemplifies the type of leadership and commitment that the Chiefs organization was looking for,” said Koop.
My smoked Hot Take: Seriously? Out of all the candidates this guy was the best? We all know that’s not true. Morris is just the last one the Chiefs offered. He was never their tenth choice, let alone their first. I’m shocked he was even a choice. I mean a division 3 coach?! This is laughable! Tony Gonzalez and the rest of the Chiefs roster have to be heated.
I have done some research into this guy and this has fail written all over it. His offense is never under center, instead working primarily from pistol and shotgun formations. In 5 years he ran 31 plays from under center.
The offense was very run heavy, with the Quarterback leading the team in rushing twice, and carries once, during his five year tenure. This style of offense might have worked in Middleofnowhere, Ohio, but it won’t work in the NFL. A Quarterback who leads his team in rushing attempts won’t be able to stay healthy past his rookie contract.
The Chiefs defense will not be a 4-3, or a 3-4, but instead be a nickel defense with 5 DBs on the field at the same time. NFL offenses are going to run the ball all over this style of defense. It may be effective in shutting down the pass in the short term, but when teams are going to be running the ball at 5 yards a clip the play action pass is going to get you.
Season ticket holders, be afraid. Be very afraid.
