Mora out in Seattle, Pete Carroll in

ESPN reporting that Jim Mora has been fired as head coach of Seattle.

Seattle Seahawks fire Jim Mora after one season, source says - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4808557)

Can't say I saw that one coming. With the rumors of Paul Allen's failing health and a shaky front office, who's going to end up there? I think we can rule out Cowher, too far away from his family.

Wow!! I didn't see that especially after Holmgren didn't go there. Maybe Zorn is headed back to Seattle!

I would be really happy for him if that were to happen, whether it's as qb coach, coordinator or waterboy supervisor. That's where he belongs & has a good history.

I figured he'd be fired if Holmgren took over there, but then I guess makes sense no matter who the new President/GM is there

Billick? Probably not

Fassel? Possible

Cowher? Doubt it

A Floyd Reese/Mike Heimerdinger combo wouldn't surprise me

I think Raye and DeCosta are also finalists for the GM position.

They said a few weeks ago that Mora would be back for another season so this was a huge surprise...

In professional sports no one has any patience. It's win now or you're fired. Jim Mora's team underachieved. But one year? That's just wrong.

I feel sorry for Mora. He so wanted to return to Washington state and be a success. Now, after one year as the head guy, he's back to plan B.

I once heard that they decided they didn't want to give him the job, but it was too late he was already waiting in the wings after Holmgren.

lol I doubt Zorn is gonna get their head coaching position.

Mora was screwed either way. He comes to Washington he has Vinny assembling a playoff roster, he goes to Seattle and gets fired after one year. Ironically though he might be a candidate to be this teams Defensive Coordinator.
