Raheem Morris has been hired by the Atlanta Falcons as their next head coach, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
BetOnline had Morris as one of the biggest long shots, paying $2500 on a $100 bet.
One of the world's largest gambling websites, BetOnline pulled odds on this market citing heavy one-sided bets on Bill Bellichick becoming the Falcons next head coach.
"Within 30 minutes of offering the fresh odds, the Chargers and Falcons markets were closed," BetOnline told Gambling911.com on Wednesday.
"We opened Bill Belichick -300 for the Atlanta job while Jim Harbaugh had -400 odds for the Chargers position. Both odds jumped to -500 and even at those numbers we were still taking one-way action so both were closed."
Harbaugh has since taken the Chargers head coaching job.
Morris has served as the LA Rams defensive coordinator.
