Dallas Cowboys v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired head coach Raheem Morris on Monday after a 10-game skid, dropping the Bucs to 4-12 on the year.

“I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the passion Coach Morris gave to our football team, but this change is one we felt was necessary,” Buccaneers General Manager Mark Dominik said in a statement.

Morris spent three seasons with the Bucs, going 17-31, and never took his team to the playoffs.

The Saint Louis Rams also cleaned house, firing their head coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney on Monday. Spagnuolo lead the Rams to a disappointing 2-14 this season, and 10-38 during his 3 year tenure. The Rams went 7-9 last season, but injuries this year proved too difficult to overcome.
