Report: Broncos request to interview Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris for their head coaching vacancy

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos have requested permission to interview Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris for their head coaching vacancy.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach has turned into one of the top defensive coordinators in the NFL under Sean McVay. Now, he will get a chance to impress the Broncos' decision-makers and get another shot at becoming an NFL Head Coach.

The Broncos are expected to hire a coach with experience and Morris has that. He also is coming from the Sean McVay coaching tree which isn’t a bad tree to pluck from. So, while he is likely a longshot to become the Broncos' Head Coach, he is still a pretty good candidate overall.

Of all the candidates, Morris is probably the most unlikely to receive the Broncos job, but he is a deserving candidate. He was the Rams' defensive coordinator during their Super Bowl run last year and has turned into one of the top defensive minds in the game. So, the Broncos are still bringing in a solid candidate for an interview.

He joins four defensive coordinators interviewing for the Broncos' head coaching job. They’re bringing in their own defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero for an interview, Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is a candidate once again, as well as up-and-coming San Francisco defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans. All four of these coaches are known for their leadership skills so it shows what the Broncos decision-makers are valuing in their non-Harbaugh and Payton candidates.
