The Atlanta Falcons are planning to hire Raheem Morris as the team's next head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
Morris was last in Atlanta three years ago when he was the interim head coach after Dan Quinn was fired following the team's 0-5 start. Morris went 4-7 as the interim coach, and Atlanta hired Arthur Smith to replace him. The Falcons fired Smith after three 7-10 seasons.
Morris comes from the Los Angeles Rams, where he had three successful seasons as the defensive coordinator and is widely respected around the league.
