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

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

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).

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

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

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

[dirthogs311]

any connection between mora and williams?

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.

That makes allot of sense SS. Snyder is bringing him here to firgure out how they can get 65000 fans louder than the 91000 at Fedex. I see those little overhead things getting added to Fedex this winter and to top it off with Tom Cruise raising the 12th man flag before the games.

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

echo... echo... echo...


I feel the same way. I liked him as a coach in atl, and couldn't believe he didn't get another chance. I think its strange the way he got shown the door after that season, and now everyone is feeling so sorry for arthur blank like he's some kind of saintly vicktim.

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

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