ESPN - Sources: Skins to interview Seahawks' Mora, Colts coordinator Meeks - NFL

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

dirthogs311 · 01-14-2008, 09:10 PM

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

BleedBurgundy · 01-14-2008, 09:12 PM

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

dirthogs311 · 01-14-2008, 09:13 PM

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.

some reason i thought he was an offensive guy, whoops

SmootSmack · 01-14-2008, 09:34 PM

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.

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

squrrelco3 · 01-14-2008, 09:34 PM

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

SmootSmack · 01-14-2008, 09:34 PM

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

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

skinsnut · 01-14-2008, 10:00 PM

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?
