Raheem Morris is joining forces with Kyle Shanahan once again, this time as a member of the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff, according to @AdamSchefter. This move marks the fourth separate occasion that the two veteran coaches will work together on the same NFL sideline.
The professional history between Shanahan and Morris spans nearly two decades and includes stops with several different organizations. Their collaborative efforts began with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. They later reunited as part of the Washington coaching staff from 2012 to 2013. Most recently, they worked together with the Atlanta Falcons during the 2015 and 2016 seasons, a period that saw the team reach Super Bowl LI.
Morris brings a wealth of experience to a 49ers team that has consistently been a contender in the NFC. By joining Shanahan in San Francisco, Morris adds another layer of veteran leadership to a staff that is already highly regarded across the league. The specific title and responsibilities for Morris within the 49ers' hierarchy are expected to be clarified as the team finalizes its coaching structure for the upcoming season.
