Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Let me start with the NFL because a massive domino fell on the NFL coaching carousel yesterday and that

massive domino fell right on the head of the alleged coaching goat when the

Falcons announced the supposed hire or surprise hire of Rams DC

Rahim Morris as their next head coach. Now when I say surprise, I want to be very clear about

this. I want to be completely clear about this. It's not a surprise because

Rahim Morris isn't a good choice or a good fit or a dude with enormous

upside or one of the single most well-liked well-respected coaches in the

entire league because he's absolutely all of those things

The Falcons hiring Rahim Morris is a surprise because what that means is the Falcons just passed on the Hoodman.

And what a look that is for the alleged coaching code.

And by that I mean like the worst look ever for Bill Bellichette.

Oh, he went from he's interviewing the falcons not the other way around, to wow, they're actually talking to other people, like they let this guy off the boat without locking it up.

Check that, not a boat, a yacht.

Arthur Blankfishes off a yacht, not a boat.

So they let it go from, he's interviewing them,

not the other way around, to they're letting him get off the yacht so they can talk to other people to hell.

They're making him come back for a second interview to oh my gosh

They just passed on this guy. It's all pretty wild and you know it's even more wild

The Falcons got it right. Atlanta did the right thing. They passed on the

goat and it was absolutely the right call because Rahim Morris is one of the most respected and most exciting coaches in the NFL.

Number one, he's not 71.
