Seahawks Fire Mora

[Sharkweather]

I bet you would've posted the same thing when Bill Belichek was hired by the Patriots.

;)

Oh hi Seahawk fan...

[bringbackjimmy]

Just because a guy was average to bad with one team doesn't mean he is going to be bad with another just look at Dennis Erickson...oh wait...

[Archer]

Other than the usual suspects - Cowher, Gruden, Dungy etc - what other options are out there?

Outside of Cowher and Marty (maybe) the options are actually quite thin imo. Gruden said he won't come back yet and Dungy has said several times that if he wanted to Coach he would still be in Indy.

[Sharkweather]

Done deal.

Oh well

I'm pumped about Pete Carroll. Took the Patriots to the playoffs 2 out of 3 years. That's much better than NOT taking them to the playoffs. Plus it's been a while since he's coached in the pro's and I'm sure he's changed his coaching style a bit. I'm excited to see how this all works out.

He also took over a Super Bowl squad that got worse every year. Have fun with that Seahawk fans.

We most definitely will!

10-6 9-7 8-8

Bright side, you guys will probably have the top pick for the next few years.

[Bomberooski]

Thank goodness. If you're going to rebuild, you might as well do it with #1 picks. Even though I don't anticipate that to happen

[EmpireWF]

Seahawks have two high picks this year which barring anything else, they should build up their two lines. Sign a free-agent QB and throw for the fences.

[Bomberooski]

That o-line needs some serious serious help

How many coaches in the playoffs this year are on their second or more stint as a HC? Just three, Belichick, Turner, and Phillips, and are Turner and Phillips really "great" coaches? I don't understand why everyone talks about Cowher and Gruden and Shanny and so on so much, like you need to get one of these guys or else. I guess Ryan, Lewis, Peyton, Sparano, McCarthy, McDaniels, Tomlin, Harbaugh, Caldwell, Mike Smith, Childress, and so on aren't good coaches?

Carroll will be back to college within two years. If it is true that USC is about to have the hammer brought down on them and he wants to get out before that, he's going to be back coaching another college team like Saban in a year or two. This is an awful, stupid decision by the Seahawks, possibly worse than hiring Mora. There is a reason nobody hires college coaches anymore.

[BazookaJoe5]

I mean, look at some of the recent hires over the years and try and say they're better candidates than Carroll: Rahim Morris, Scott Linehan, Steve Spagnolo, Jim Schwartz, Jim Zorn, Tom Cable, Eric Mangini etc. It's not like there are a bunch of Vince Lombardi's, Chuck Noll's, Bill Walsh's etc available.

I notice you left out Nick Saban and Bobby Petrino, who would be a better comparison with Carroll than any of those guys.

[Sharkweather]

Why would those guys be better comparisons? Both of them quit on their teams and weasled their ways out of the NFL. Pete Carroll did not do that with either New York or New England.

He also did not have much NCAA success before taking those NFL jobs.

Unlike Saban at LSU, Petrino at Louisville. And now Pete at So. Cal.

He'll be back once he realizes how much harder the NFL is, rather than reeling in top 10 recruiting classes every year at the college level.

[Prodigal Son]

Right - because that's sooooo easy to do.

It is when you're USC. It's not when you're Idaho St.
