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."
