Mora out in Seattle, Pete Carroll in

Shouldn't have been hired as Head Coach in the first place. It's not surprising they fired he because it was going to happen sooner or later. It is surprising that they had the guts to fire him after one year.

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.

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

Carrol is reportedly trying to talk Bates into joining him.

On a side note...anyone think Nick Saban will have his players practicing how to dump Gatorade next season?

Yeah, no joke. And it was amazing how humorless Saban was about the whole experience.

You'd think that grumpy bastard would crack a smile after the whole thing. I mean you just won the national title! Playing for him must really suck.

I'd rather be the national champion with a less publicly enamored coach than not the national champion with a happy go lucky type guy.

Why? Either way you still are a champ. What is wrong with happy go lucky if you still win?

He said it was the intensity of it that bothered him.
