Re: Jim Mora Jr.?
 

[QUOTE=firstdown;409469]Thats my point what players? I have only heard of a few that have come out and supported GW. I'm not saying that they want another head coach I'm just stating that I have not heard of this larg number of players coming out and saying that they support him. I have read a bunch of post here where people say that all the players want GW but no one can give any links to who all these players are. I think its more of a rumor here that he has all these players supporting him. I do not find it hard to believe but I just have not seen it. Like I said they are at home and not at Redskin part so not hearing from them is pretty much a given.[/QUOTE]

Like I said, I've seen it on TV on the local news and comcast sportsnet. I can't really get you any links obviously because it was on TV!!!

So far, I've heard: Rock Cartwright, Chris Cooley, Chris Samuels, Pierson Prioleau, Philip Daniels, London Fletcher, ARE, Mike Sellars...

It would be ridiculous to go and post a whole bunch of links just to satisfy you.

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Adam Schefter of [URL="http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm#"]NFL[/URL] Network reports that Seahawks assistant coach Jim Mora has withdrawn his name from consideration for the vacant head-coaching position with the Washington Redskins. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Mora, who coached the Falcons to a 27-23 record in three seasons with the team, widely is regarded as the hand-picked candidate to succeed Mike Holmgren in Seattle once Holmgren retires. Today's development could mean that Holmgre, 60, has decided to retire now. Alternatively, it could be that Mora has received a Jim Caldwell-style style promise that, upon Holmgren's retirement (whenever it may happen) Mora will take over.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Re: Jim Mora Jr.?
 

I have to say that I happy because out of all the candidates he's is the one that least wanted.

I don't need links I believe what you are saying. The only reason I even ask is because I keep hearing people saying that the players back him but I personaly had only seen a couple. I was just curious if it was true or something that just keeps getting repeated on here like fact.

It looks like Holgren is retiring after all.

Understood. Trust me, I've heard more than "a couple" of players backing him. But like I said, it was on TV interviews.

Re: Jim Mora Jr.?

I guess this means Mora will fulfill his radio announcement that he wanted to coach Washington (Seattle). He just couldn't remember that it was da-haux when he said it!

By the way this is from PFT/rumormill if you guys couldn't tell by the font.

If this is true, its great news. Also looked like he was going to get our damn coaching spot if he didn't pull out. Greg Williams has to be riding the Snyder roller coaster ready to puke!!

[quote=Redskins_P;409481]Understood. Trust me, I've heard more than "a couple" of players backing him. But like I said, it was on TV interviews.[/quote]

I've heard several flat out say they want Williams to be the next coach. Phillip Daniels all but said, if he isn't the organization is making a mistake. But yeah, it's more than a couple here and there.

At the very least, I've seen quotes supporting Williams from Sellers, ARE, Daniels, Jason Campbell, Fletcher. And I'm sure just about every other guy on D feels the same way.
