Plus that whole University of Washington ordeal. I mean the guy has an NFL job and goes on the radio lobbying for a college job? What the hell is that all about? I would stay far away from this guy.

Not only that...but look at the kinds of guys that were on that team and how they acted...and ask yourself if Gibbs would have let that slide

I've seen the Defensive coach side of him here in SF and all the players love him and respected him, he's a players coach. If you watched the Seattle game, same thing. I would much rather have GW, but Mora is not a bad alternative. As far as controlling D. Hall who cares, the guy is talented but he's a punk like Pacman, nobody could control someone like that, the solution would be to trade him or cut him. By the way, Andre Carter would endorse him having played for Mora.

The guy runs a typical west coast offense, we already have Saunders, makes no sense

Mora is not an offensive coach. He coaches defense.

I think the bigger question is...are any of these candidates an upgrade over Williams? In terms of leadership, tactical strategy, statisically speaking (his defenses have ranked high), motivation (players seem to respond to Williams' technique), and that's not to mention the intangibles.

So my thinking is regardless of whom they interview, there's probably only a handful of coaches on the market that could unseat Williams as the heir appearant.

You can see it now:

Snyder: Jim, the job is yours. Will pay you anything you want.

Mora: You sure? What about Williams

Snyder: F-him, never liked that guy only kept him on for Joe. Gave him the run around with 4 interviews and didn't even let him sleep over.

Mora: That's true, let me call my Daddy and ask him.

Snyder: Ok, please hurry, Greg keeps calling and I don't know what to say.

Mora: Daddy said no, thinks you're too short to be a good owner.

Snyder: It was Williams job all along only wanted you to have a spenda-night

Williams: Dan when do I start?

Snyder: Well can you come in for your 5th interview???????

Hey im not that big of a fan of Mora as our HC but you guys have to remember that when he was in Atlanta he also had Michael Vick as his quarterback and a few other bad character guys. But he did still have some really good seasons there.

Looks like we do have a "GM" in Vinny after all

Check out JLC's Redskins Insider blog (Redskins Insider). Don't quote me, but I don't think there is a single player he's talked to since Gibbs' retirement that hasn't endorsed GW.

Well now we can say we know something about whats going on.

so has JLC on skins insider. Said the family aspect was too much, would have to move for 3rd time in 3 years. Not surprising cause he's a west coast guy, but I was worried the danny would hook him w/big cash. glad that's over with!
