Legendary Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski mourned his ex-teammate Guy Morriss on social media and said, 'Guy was a true leader on our Super Bowl team. RIP my friend!”
Morriss played with the Eagles from 1973-83 after being drafted in the second round and started at center in their 27-10 Super Bowl loss to the Oakland Raiders in 1981. He also spent four seasons with the Patriots and played in 217 NFL contests, including Super Bowl XX, with 177 starts.and said, “So sad to hear my great center Guy Moriss has passed away. Guy was a true leader on our Super Bowl team. RIP my friend!”Guy was a true leader on our Super Bowl team.
Morriss began his head coaching career at Kentucky following the resignation of Hal Mumme after the 2000 season amid an NCAA investigation of rules violations. The former offensive line and assistant head coach under Mumme went 2-9 in 2001. The Wildcats improved to 7-5 the next year for Morriss’ lone winning finish, a turnaround season highlighted by a near upset of LSU. Kentucky was banned from the postseason as part of NCAA sanctions.
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart expressed condolences to Morriss' family and friends in a release and said he stabilized the football program during a period of significant uncertainty. “He was both liked and respected by the players, who responded to his fair, no-nonsense approach with their best efforts," the AD added. “His six years at UK feature some of the best players and most exciting moments in our history.”Morriss is survived by his wife, Jackie; their daughters, Colleen, Kerry, Savannah and Austin; and five grandchildren.
