Brendan Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Mora was not Holmgrens guy it wasn't guaranteed that he would of kept his job if Holmgren was hired. Reportedly Mora and Holmgren didn't get along the season before Jr took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reportedly Mora and Holmgren didn't get along the season before Jr took over.My point was that Holmgren brought in Mora, and Mora was made 'coach in waiting' whilst Holmgren was still in Seattle. I get the feeling that the Seahawks wanted to move beyond that whole era, and getting rid of Mora is all part of that. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mora was sacked because he's a bad coach and they hammered out a deal with Carroll to replace him earlier this week.

The_Admiral Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I would prefer that owners get rid of a coach they are not happy with, rather than limping on and not backing the coach.I think it's perfectly reasonable, if unlikely, to say to owners once you have figured a coach is the guy you want to start the season with, you owe it to that guy to give him a fair go! That seems fair to me! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems fair to me!The point being that the Seahawks have evaluated the situation and decided that Mora is not a guy they are comfortable with, and sacked him rather than waiting for the 2010 season started and then firing him after a couple of defeats early on, which is what NBA owners seem to do sometimes. I am not at all against an organisation sacking a coach they don't want, but there is a time to do it. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Just heard a rumor on NBC that USC will be targeting Jeff Fisher if/when Pete Carroll leaves. They'd probably have to toss a boatload of cash his way, but it could get done. I'd be all for that move, Fisher has always been one of my favorite coaches and it'd be interesting to see how his likeable personality works in terms of recruiting.

BrySmalls Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Cincinnati have used and lost both challenges in the first quarter. They are down to one timeout left in the first half and no other challenges remaining. In the Instant Replay era, how often has a team used and lost both challenges in the first quarter and gone on to win the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I am starting to feel bad for Tom Hammond. Not only did he have to deal with Notre Dame football this season, he now has to deal with Theismann (who cannot shut up), Joe Gibbs (who has the personality of wallpaper paste), and Tiki Barber (who just tells us it is getting cold and never gave is information on the NYJ punter).

I'm not sure they all happened in the first quarter but there were a few times The Browns were out of challenges before halftime. It was more or less expected after a while.

LA Times gives names of "potential candidates" sans Tuberville. La Times SpeculationI see Del Rio more of a college coach. He is more "strappin'" for the cougars for the HS player.

Going to USC would be a bit of a downgrade for him. I think he holds out until The Cowboys job opens up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
