Pat Morris

Patrick Morris (born April 7, 1954, in Cleveland, Ohio) is a former offensive line coach in the National Football League.

College career Morris was a reserve offensive guard for USC from 1972 to 1975, lettering in 1975.

Coaching Morris began his coaching career immediately after his playing career ended, staying with USC as a graduate assistant for the 1976 and 1977 seasons, working with the offensive line. Morris later followed his former 49ers head coach Steve Mariucci to Detroit, serving as the offensive line coach for the Lions from 2004 to 2005. He was fired along with Mariucci on November 29, 2005, after a disappointing season marred with poor offensive production.

Morris then spent the 2006–2010 seasons as the offensive line coach for the Minnesota Vikings, coaching Pro Bowl offensive linemen such as Matt Birk, Bryant McKinnie, and Steve Hutchinson. After a regime change in Minnesota, he left to coach the offensive line for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2011 season. He was not retained when head coach Raheem Morris and his staff were fired after the season.

Morris was named the offensive line coach for the Buffalo Bills on January 19, 2013. After several seasons away from coaching, Morris was hired as the offensive line coach in 2019 for the San Diego Fleet of the short-lived Alliance of American Football by head coach Mike Martz.
