After all it is usually the coach who receives the flak when the team aren't performing well.
But Morgan has shown admirable steel, resolve, patience and determination - not to mention loyalty - in equal measures as he has worked tirelessly to try to keep the team competitive.
Despite his, and other people's efforts, it has been a miserable campaign by anybody's standards. A run of 20 consecutive defeats stretching between October 6 last year and April 12 in 2008 was the reason the club found themselves relegated.
That is why last weekend's 20-7 victory over Waterloo at Ovenden Park - only the club's second National Two success of the season - was greeted with such euphoria.
"I have been saying all season that we are a good team and we proved it," said Morgan. "They were a very hard and strong Waterloo team with a lot of big lads in there and they needed to be beaten
"Talking to them after the game they were not happy. They did not come here to lose.
"We beat them in the scrummage while the back row of Gareth Lewis, Dominic Moon and Richard Brown were absolutely outstanding.
"Then there was young Lee Brown and Matty Harrison causing absolute chaos out there.
"Ronan Dillon was doing everything right at scrum half, the centres tightened things up and you had the likes of Joe Knowles and Dave Hall tidying things up at the back
"You just cannot take anything away from the lads - it was a complete team performance.
"Waterloo got through once but apart from that they never looked like scoring."
The result was just reward for a Halifax team who have continued to show tremendous spirit in adversity.
"You can point to a number of games that we should have won, such as the first game at home to Wharfedale, then the Cambridge game, Nuneaton and possibly Manchester at home," added Morgan
"If we had have won those we would have been in there fighting.
"Luck hasn't gone our way and we have suffered with more than our share of injuries.
"In the final weeks of the season I have still been scrabbling around trying to make sure we have enough players and I shouldn't be doing that at this stage.
"It should be plain sailing but instead I am still trying to pull rabbits out of hats."
Morgan's plans suffered a major disruption before the Waterloo game when prop Laurence Sanderson, who had been due to start, went AWOL leaving the coach furious.
And he told how he resisted the temptation to give recalled veteran forward Richard Szabo a late cameo.
"Laurence Sanderson not turning up made life very awkward and I was far from happy with that," he said
"We had to bring Richard Szabo onto the bench and all credit to him for stepping in.
"The call came from the sidelines to bring Szabs on for the last two minutes and I thought about it but things were getting a little bit tasty and I didn't want to bring anybody on cold at that late stage.
"How could I have taken off any of the forwards? I couldn't. It might have proved suicidal if we'd have lost the game."
But it all turned out well and Morgan relished the moment as much as anybody.
"It was a long time coming but we had been building up to it," he said
"It means a hell of a lot to me. You do get to the point when you wonder whether a win is ever going to come.
"The players have shown that they have character, shown that they are good people and of strong mind.
"There were a few tears shed after the heavy defeat at Manchester but apart from that they have come back time and time again and come back fighting.
"The support has been tremendous. There have been people out there really pulling for us and the cheer we got at the end of the game was fantastic.
"They saw an honest team working hard and prepared to dig deep."
Morgan also reserved special praise for the club officials, adding: "I cannot fault the committee."
"They have never criticised and it would have been very easy for them to bin me off at any stage.
"I have appreciated the fact that they haven't looked for a scapegoat.
"They have remained enthusiastic and have given me fantastic support."
