Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is already preparing for the day when he has to replace good coaches after a winning 2024 season according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.

Other teams see success and want to emulate it by hiring staff members of a winning team. That’s what the Falcons did by plucking Morris and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson away from the Rams this offseason and it is something that Morris wants his new team to be prepared for in the future.

Morris has assembled a staff of 26 coaches for his first season in Atlanta. That’s the third-biggest staff in the league and Morris explained that the size is proportional to his expectations of the team’s on-field success.

“It’s the attrition of knowing that you’re going to be good. It’s a little bit of arrogance with it as well, right?” Morris told Jones.  “We’re going to lose good coaches. And I would like to be able to replace them within. I would like to be able to have guys in place that are training and constantly develop for those roles. When you do it, you don’t come into this thing hoping you can win. You go into this thing knowing you can win. And when you know you can win, you’re going to lose people that are curious about what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. And I want to be prepared for that.”

Good problems to have.
