Mora Fired, Seahawks in Shambles

Today this afternoon, Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Jim Mora Jr. was fired after one season. The Seahawks were 5-11 this year and finished in third place in the NFC West. Coach Mora was part of the issue this season for the Seahawks, but the biggest issue was that they didn't have enough talent. The reason Mora was fired I believe was because his players quit on him at the end of the season. The Cleveland Browns finished 5-11 this season but they won their last four games because the players didn't quit on Head Coach Eric Mangini. That's why he kept his job and Mora didn't. The Seattle Seahawks don't even have a General Manager right now because the former GM Tim Ruskell was fired during the season. Now that Mora is no longer head coach, who will be next Seahawks head coach? Enter in USC Trojans Head Coach Pete Carroll. His name has been surfaced all throughout the day. Rumor is that there is a deal "going down". All my Seahawk fan friends are not going to want to hear me say this but I think Pete Carroll isn't that great of an NFL head coach. He isn't even that great of a college head coach. He's just a good recruiter that surrounds himself with great coaches. That's why he wants to bring USC Offensive Coordiantor Jeremy Bates with him to Seatlle. The Seahawks right now are in absolute shambles. There have been whispers that the Cleveland Browns might trade for Matt Hasselbeck. If the Seahawks lost Hasselbeck they will truly be a team with no future. They have a bad offensive line, bad secondary, and bad defensive line. The only strength on the team is the linebacker position. That's no use though when your defensive lineman are being driven four yards off the ball. Walter Jones is close to retiring which isn't good for an offensive line that doesn't block in the first place. The Seahawks are well on their way to being one of the bottom-feeder teams in the NFL. We'll see if Coach Carroll get hired in the next 72 hours or so. I'll make sure to keep tabs on the story.
