Raheem Morris and the press

I'm watching the video of the introductory press conference for new Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris.

There are few clues from the press conference as to how Morris will coach. His answers to the few good questions were pretty much free of any detailed content. Props to Jim Flynn (The Pewter Report) and Whitney Johnson (AM 620) for asking good, specific questions.

Morris does not seem comfortable dealing with the press at this point. He has the knack for not answering questions except via cliche, but he needs better and more varied cliches where he won't be providing any real content.

There's no reason to think he won't improve his ability to manage the press after a bit more practice. He really should have been able to provide some sort of answer to questions such as Jim Flynn's about what style the team would adopt post-Gruden, even if it amounted to "I haven't decided yet."
