The Seattle Seahawks have fired coach Jim Mora and have already arranged to interview Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, according to sources with knowledge of the developments.

Mora, who inherited a 4-12 team, spent just one season as coach after being promoted as a defensive assistant in 2009. Seattle was decimated by injuries and inconsistency and finished 5-11.

It was Mora’s second head coaching job, having led the Atlanta Falcons to a 26-22 record from 2004-2006.

Frazier, meanwhile, has been contacted by and will interview with the Seahawks in the near future. Frazier recently interviewed for the Buffalo Bills’ head coaching vacancy.

DeCosta is another very strong candidate to end up there

I always liked Mora, his football philosophys always seemed sound. Going in I think Seattle was a team that needed a decent amount of work/rebuilding, doesn't seem quite fair to him.

wouldnt it be a lateral move to come here, though?

I'd Love Bruce Allen as Team President, Eric DeCosta as GM, and Morocco Brown as Director of Player Personnel.

Wasn't talking about him coming here. Talking about Seattle

Yep.. looks like that's who they want.

Jeez even Zorn got 2 seasons.

Really? Is that what they're saying?

I just know Carroll has been a rumored candidate to return to the NFL this year. I've been thinking Dallas but Seattle makes sense

That's what the guys on ESPN just reported.. don't know how long they'd been talking about it, I was taking a nap. It was reported that they had mutual interest in each other and that Seattle wanted to bring in Carrol as well as Bates I believe
