Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

I wonder why Mora? I know they were thinking of him right after Gibbs stepped down, but I thought it wasn't happening anymore. I'll have to look into that

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

maybe offensive coordinator i think it would be a promotion for him, who knows the status of saunders

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

I thought Mora was in line for Holmgren's job?

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

any connection between mora and williams?

That makes sense, except he was a defensive coordinator in San Francisco and is currently a DB's coach. So maybe he is being interviewed as a DC to replace Gregg Williams. OR, even more likely, as a DB coach to replace Jerry Gray when he is made DC under Gregg Williams as he was in Buffalo (with a pay raise and new title for Mora).

Yeah if Holmgrean steps down, you'd think Mora would have to be a favorite there.

Mora, I believe, currently has an Assistant Head Coach title so he'd need at least that if he were to come here.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

some reason i thought he was an offensive guy, whoops :doh:

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

One thing to keep in mind is that often times teams will take advantage of coach interviews to "scout" opponents. They'll ask that coach about other players and coaches in that coach's division. Not saying this is the case at all with Mora. I imagine he's a legit candidate (to an extent), but maybe they're trying to pick his brain about someone else in the NFC West or even the NFC South.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

Former HC. He's a candidate for HC, as is Meeks.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

I wouldn't mind Jim Mora Jr...I think he got the shaft in Atlanta and would fit well in DC...

My first choice though would still be G. Williams

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

Still, I'd like to hear this from a source other than Mort

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

The WP says the B&G will interview Colts Caldwell.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

Man, I'm soooo pissed.
I wish the skins would focus on hiring a GM.

When does that usually happen?
After a coach is hired or before?

I can hope cant I?

They are not hiring one.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

Yeah, they also posted that we were after Cowher. I'm sick of all this rumor mongering.

echo... echo... echo...


I feel the same way. I liked him as a coach in atl, and couldn't believe he didn't get another chance. I think its strange the way he got shown the door after that season, and now everyone is feeling so sorry for arthur blank like he's some kind of saintly vicktim.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

I wouldn't take Mora over Williams. What's the point? I mean, what does Mora bring to the table that Williams doesn't or can't?

I'd imagine Mora wouldn't ask for total control...

That makes allot of sense SS. Snyder is bringing him here to firgure out how they can get 65000 fans louder than the 91000 at Fedex. I see those little overhead things getting added to Fedex this winter and to top it off with Tom Cruise raising the 12th man flag before the games.

What does total control mean? This is a team sport and that includes the management aspect of the team. I doubt Williams is going to ask for Schottenheimer kinda control.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

From the reports and heresay, Williams is looking for Gibbs-type control (Team President), which is something I don't think Mora would ask for, and would be a positive for Snyder as he looks for a new head coach.

I'm not saying it's something to look deep into, but if Snyder wants personnel and FO control back in his hands, he's going to look for a head coach that won't mind him having such power.

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

Honestly, I can't imagine an owner wanting to override his coaches as far as personal issues are concerned and I can't imagine why a coach would want any more control than making personal decisions. Snyder has a history of douchebaggery so you might be right.

canthetuna:

Mora was not shabbily shown the door in Atlanta. He said he'd quit the Falcons' job in a minute to go and coach at U Wash if that job were offered to him.

I give him points for being open and honest. But the Falcons had plenty of reason to "look elsewhere" when his team took gas. No one had a gun to his head when he made those remarks.

i didn't know that... still, youd think the guy could work past it and get a head coaching job somewhere...

Re: Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks
 

I don't trust ESPN anymore. They gave a long list of possible replacements, that didn't include GW or Cowher. On the list was [B]Brian Billick[/B]!

mora is not a bad guy....he made atlanta a contender
