The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a big decision on their hand at the end of the season: whether or not to keep head coach Raheem Morris. 

And that decision could have a large effect on whether or not veteran cornerback Ronde Barber returns or retires.

The Tampa Tribune reports Barber strongly suggested that firing Morris could lead to his retirement, or at least his departure from Tampa Bay.

We are still trying to confirm this here at 10 News.

Barber has played 15 seasons with the Bucs. He signed a 1-year contract last offseason and has kept up impressive numbers, despite the Bucs' terrible record.
