Football fans decided to have some fun at the expense of one tardy NFL head coach.
The annual NFL owners meetings are ongoing at The Breakers resort in Palm Beach, Fla. It’s become a tradition during the event that every NFL head coach gathers for a group photo.
Online sleuths were quick to notice that only one head coach was missing from this year’s photo: Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris. Several fans cracked jokes on X about what might have happened to Morris.
One fan wondered whether Morris took the photo.

Another joked that Morris had channeled his inner John Cena, which would explain why we “can’t see” him.

An optimistic Falcons fan theorized that Morris may have been so focused on the season that he simply did not want to waste time taking silly photos with his peers.
My head canon is gonna be that Raheem Morris is so focused on the season he doesn’t have time to be taking pictures… https://t.co/MQHq2G5GRf

The real reason Morris was missing was much less amusing. The Falcons’ group reportedly experienced weather-related delays on their flight to Palm Beach.
Aside from Morris’ absence, the photo intrigued fans for several other reasons.
Many found the background choice quite hilarious. Instead of taking the photo in front of the actual resort, the NFL PR team opted to use a fake background.
Several fans also judged the coaches’ outfits, particularly Nick Sirianni as the only coach wearing shorts. Reigning Super Bowl-winning coaches get special privileges, apparently.
