Maren Morris rang in 2026 in sparkling fashion, but behind the scenes, she was quietly fighting through a brutal health scare.

Raheem Morris guided the Falcons to back-to-back eight-win seasons. While that may not sound particularly impressive, the Falcons had won seven or fewer contests each year from 2018-23. But Morris received a pink slip Sunday night, joining GM Terry Fontenot in being removed from his position.

Chandler Morris just led Virginia to an 11-win season and is petitioning the NCAA for a seventh year of eligibility.

Morris, 57, is in a play-caller role for the first time since 2020 at Auburn. He previously served as Clemson’s offensive coordinator from 2011-14 and is credited with helping build the Tigers’ national championship teams after he left the program.

Clemson's Board of Trustees approved a new contract for the Tigers' new offensive coordinator Chad Morris on Jan. 5. He received a three-year deal.

Clemson athletic director Graham Neff, Swinney’s boss, expressed his support for the hire of Morris, telling the university’s board of trustees compensation committee he was “very pleased” to present Morris’ contract to them for approval.

After cleaning house by firing Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot following a disappointing 8-9 record this season, the Atlanta Falcons are in the process of lining up candidates for their vacant general manager position.
