Jim Mora Jr. withdraws himself from consideration for Redskins HC job (update)

I started thinking if Snyder changes his mind and hires Mora Jr. why would he do that? He looks at the Cowboys keeping Garrett (a young bright prospect for HC next year or the following) he looks at Williams (a little older) if he fails then What? If he picks Mora (also a young bright person w/ HC experience) he would also have a bright young up and coming coach to compete with the Cowboys in the long run. I think Mora failed in Atlanta because of Vick (great athlete but not much of a QB). Maybe this is a bunch of nonsense in my part.

See I don't think Mora commands respect. I think guys like Mike Singletary command respect. Mora? No thanks. I remember hearing a story about how he could not control DeAndelo Williams. Now that is not an easy thing to do but he seems too buddy buddy with the players if you ask me. He kind of reminds me of Pete Carroll. He'd make a great college coach. 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.

Mora is not an offensive coach. He coaches defense.

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

To me it says he is taking his time and interviewing all posable HC. What affects are you talking about? Waht has Danny done? Nothing and what do you know about what is going on? Nothing. This is a dumb thread based off of nothing so quit making up threads. In the beging I said there would be 5 to 10 rumor head coaching threads and I was wrong. I think there will be 10 to 15 rumor HC threads.

He flew out across the country to pick him up, had Mora sleep over him home, then gave him another interview over breakfast. That seems like alot to me. Whoa, you need to get laid dude, angry man!

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.

He's nobody compared with Williams, and should have been dismissed from the start.

Andre Carter has already endorsed GW.

Pretty much every player and coach has endorsed GW. I don't think Mora would be a good fit. He may have had success in the past, but I still don't trust him. He typically runs a west coast offense (thats what Atlanta ran), and I think he runs a 3-4 defense (I could be totally wrong).

Snyder said he wanted stability. Hiring Mora would be the opposite of stability.

Snyder is a whore for attention so we won't know until after Sunday's games at the earliest.......

No I'm not angry its just post like yours allready calling Snyder out when you do not have a clue as to what is really going on or what he is thinking. Wait until he has made his decision before calling him out.
You Said: "Gibbs gone is showing its affects" what affects are you talking about? From your post its like DS has done something wrong. What has he done that was wrong?

Ok maybe I shouldn't jump all over Snyder but its pissing alot of people off who want Greg to get the nod ASAP for the process to begin.

Don't know what owners have sleepover parties with coaches they're interviewing for the job, seems a bit much.

Agreed. If they go that route and disrupt team chemistry (they will, switching to a West Coast offense and 3-4 defense) it will create problems. Mora overall is not a bad coach, if he ended here AC would endorse him(Carter endorsed GW before Mora was even a candidate).

Maybe he could not get in until late so they just held the meeting at his home and then finished up in the morning. All I'm saying is lets give the process the time to run its course. If what DS does is not what people feel is the best thing for the skins then say what you want. I'm also not sure why its ticking people off that he is taking his time to hire a new coach. Most everyone wants GW but what if he said he doe not like AS system and wants to replace alott of the other coaches. Do we still want him over maybe someone that wants to keep the other coaches in place and work with what we allready have? We just don't know at this point.

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.

I've asked this before but did not get an answer. You say most players and coaches have endorsed GW so please provide a link which proves this to be true. I know a few are on record as backing GW but I have not seen anywhere that all these players are on record for GW.

He has met all requirements and interviewed GW four times, make the call now and move into the offseason programs. We're so close to Division Titles and sucessful playoff runs.........
