The Dream points to John Madden for the reason he is the Bucs head coach.

New Bucs coach Raheem The Dream has it figured out. He was hired indirectly thanks to John Madden.

More specifically, he and the other under-40 crowd of new NFL coaches are in the business thanks to Madden, the video game version, so The Dream tells SI.com’s Don Banks.

Asked about the league’s trend toward younger head coaches, Morris said: “I told NFL Network the other day that it’s John Madden’s fault. Ever since he made that game, everybody thought they could be a coach. Everybody’s been creating their own teams, doing salary caps since they were 12. He ruined the league for the older coaches. I blame John Madden.”

Someone followed up by asking Morris how much Madden Football he had played.

“Are you kidding me?” he said. “I majored in it in college.”

Pretty good one-liner, Dream.

Banks has an interesting comment about The Dream. Banks notes, “If Morris can coach half as well as he can talk, the Bucs may have landed one of the game’s future greats.”

Joe is of the opposite mind: If The Dream coaches half as good as he talks, the Bucs are in a world of hurt.
