Who is Jim Mora?

We all know the answer to a degree: He's the Seahawks coach, he says stupid things sometimes (quit the Falcons job in the playoffs to coach at UW?), he's been too close to his players before, and he has more energy than most meth heads. Danny O'Neil has a great feature article on Jim Mora on the front page of the Seattle Times today (and, lucky for you, online as well). Check it out here.

The article is very interesting throughout, and has some insights that a lot of us may have forgotten -- Mora turned down a job to be the Giants defensive coordinator to work in Seattle, for example. It basically goes through his maturation from coach's son to second-time head coach, and it's interesting throughout. There's not a whole lot of "new" in the piece, but its worth reading. My favorite part:

"Under no circumstances do I believe I'm allowed to fail. I'm not a mercenary in this city. There's nothing else for me." -Mora

Are you guys ready for the James L. Mora era to begin in earnest? (Get it? His dad's name was James Ernest... Mora...... okay sorry.) Rookies report on Thursday!

Do you think it is by chance that Jim Mora had the big guy out to climb MT Ranier. Ruskell an Mora have a plan that will quall the horrible calls that have cursed the Seahawks.

Anybody remember Fred Young intercepting a pass that would have put the Hawks in the playoffs.

And the white and green helmet being called a football. that one pisses me off. radio personalities say its a mith. that the Haewks wouldnt have made the playoffs anyways.

WELL WE DID HAVE ANOTHER GAME. AND IF WE HADNT BEEN ELIMINATYED BY THAT CALL MAYBE THE TEAM WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP FOR A PRE PLAYOFF GAME TO GET IN. instead heart broken players came out to go through the motions, clean out their lockers and go on vacation.
