Well, that's it. I'm done.
When asked about the local TV blackout
"My job is winning. Winning is my only business," said Morris. "That's really what I have to be concerned with. That's going out and playing the Cleveland Browns this week."

When asked for a response to Sabby's claim that there was never a competition
“I don’t have to [respond], and that’s unfortunate for him. That’s probably why he didn’t get it. Generally you go out there and do your very best. That’s the thing to do, so that’s Sabby’s problem."
"No there is no such thing as an unhappy player. The only the person that’s going to be unhappy here is me. His job is to make us happy,” said Morris. “He’s got to do his job. That’s the nature of the beast. That’s how the NFL works.”

On Derrick Ward
“In ‘09 we weren’t a very good football team. We weren’t a very good organized football team as far as our running game. We all struggled. He was a guy that was a part of it. He went out there and he probably didn’t get the holes that he wanted. Whatever the reasons were – nobody cares. It is your job to go out there and get it done"

On Kareem Huggins
"He's a classic example of an angry worker," Morris said. "He went to Hofstra, he's from Irvington (N.J.), they shut down his football program. He (thinks he) should have gone to Rutgers, he should have gotten drafted. None of that stuff happened. He had to come to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by video YouTube."From The Ledger (Lakeland)
On Donald Penn
"It's awesome," Coach Raheem Morris said. "The best thing you can say about a left tackle is nothing, and that's what's really been said."

Youth is Wasted on the Young
"You will never hear me use youth as an excuse," said Morris. "I don't like to talk about youth. I don't like to do that. I won't do that."

All Kinds of Heart
"When you talk about Cadillac, you're talking right between the rib cage," Bucs coach Raheem Morris says. "You're talking about a guy who has all kinds of heart. He's just a different animal. On game day, he's going to give you every single thing he's got."

For the love of ...
"The support is not going to come from the average fan. The support is going to come from the Buccaneer lover," Morris said. "The 3-13 will help us thrive. The 3-13 is what's going to make us. The 3-13 is what we're going to look at, set examples for, and go out and really punish people for it."

Gaines Adams Passes Away
"Gaines will be missed by all of us, especially by his teammates in our locker room. He was a true team player and a positive influence to everyone he met. My prayers go out to his family."

On his future with the team
"I stand here and coach until I go. My mom and my pops were both laid off when I was 13 years old and nobody told them that they weren't going to get fired. That's just the reality of the world we live in. You deal with it. You do your job. This game is not for everybody. If I'm sitting around worried about getting fired then I've got my own issues. I'm not. I'm very confident in what I do."

On Bill Cowher
"I have a great relationship with my owners," Morris said in his post-game press conference. "The thing I know about those guys is they didn't hire me last year in a meeting. The thing I know about these guys is I've had a seven-year relationship with them. They interviewed me for seven years, and I've been around these guys. So, I'm pretty sure if I was getting popped, fired or whatever you want to call it, my owners would come tell me like men because that's who they are and that's what they want to be. I'm sure Bill Cowher [wants this job]. Everybody wants this job - it's the best in football. I want it, too."

On dominating the third quarter
"I just told those guys there's no reason for us to wait around until the end of the football game to try to win it,'' "There's no rule that says we can't go out there and dominate – and that's what they did. The defense really responded, as well. I told them it's on us … if they don't score anymore, we win. That's the end of the story.''

It's about us
"There are always guys that are on the bubble," Morris said. "There's always coaches on the bubble. How you respond to being on the bubble is what defines you as a man, as a coach or as a player. You always hear the theme on television right now - the teams that are not playing for anything. We are playing for us. It's about us."

Job Security
"Job security is not an issue for coaches," Morris said Monday. "We don't have any. You just go out there and present your best self every day. That's all I can do. We make decisions based on how do we beat our next opponent. There will be no decisions made based on saving Raheem Morris, Mark Dominik or any player."

Confidence in the defense
"You got to have confidence in those guys and they will bring it home for you. If they cant, then we'll get our butts kicked, but we'll get our butts kicked together doing it our way."

Nothing going
"Offensively we were not ready to play, and that is on us as coaches," Morris said. "We had no explosive plays, no third down conversions, we didn't get anything going."
