Losing six straight games will drive any NFL coach crazy, but that wasn't the only thing that upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Raheem Morris on Sunday.
During the Bucs' loss to the Carolina Panthers, Morris ejected one of his own players in the second half.

On the final play of the third quarter, Bucs linebacker Geno Hayes sacked Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for a 4-yard loss on 3rd and 15. However, Brian Price was flagged for unnecessary roughness, prompting Morris to tell his tackle to "go home" afterward.
''It was foolish. It's selfish to your teammates, to everybody in the organization, to your fans. That's terrible. That's just selfish behavior, to get a 15-yard penalty in that situation when that's all we talk about, that's all we discuss,'' Morris said during his post-game press conference. ''You just don't do that to your team.''
No wonder they're losing, the coach is too honest and too fair. /s

It IS selfish when a player does something stupid like committing an unnecessary penalty. They are putting themselves and their emotions ahead of the team. I have seen my team make these same stupid penalties and it gets on my nerves. Good for Raheem.

Honest and fair??

I can't help but notice how he's not concerned about the unecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct from his player, just that he got caught and the team got penalized. Saying don't do it, and saying don't get caught are two different things, just ask Sandusky.

That's not the issue. The issue is how he can't keep his emotions in check. He put himself ahead of the team first because he had to show someone else how tough he was.

If you're going to make an issue out of that, we'll have to fire more than half the pro-sports players, coaches and managers.

Agreed.
