    How many NFL coaches have been fired less than a season into their new contract?

    How many NFL teams are owned by one the richest men in the world who has a life threatening disease? Money is the luxury, time is not.

    Not that I really care, I'm a Cowboys fan. I'm just surprised that they didn't dump him a little sooner.

    I'd heard that they're bringing in the Vikes DC, hadn't heard about Carroll.

    Nevermind. Stupid LA Times.

    Looks like Leiweke went to interview Carroll last week, got a positive vibe, so he fired Mora (with 12M left on his contract)

    Thank goodness, Mora suck a hard one! The dude couldn't coach a secondary, why the hell would you promote him to coach your team.

    wow.. I know Riley said OSU is his DREAM job.. but that would be a hard one to pass up. Its as close a thing to getting in NFL job without actually competing against the NFL.

    wow, where are the Riley rumors coming from? I wouldn't mind getting him. Would love to see what he could do with USC's talent.

    LA News stations are reporting Carroll to the Seahawks is a done deal.

    USC to target Mike Reilley.

    Patriots and Jets he was 33-31, with 2 playoff appearances. Worst he ever did was 6-10. We went 5-11 last year. :)

    All you had to do was read the statements being made by various players on that team to realize that he didn't seem to have their backing. I'm not a Seattle fan, but after watching the embarrassing effort they gave against my Packers two weeks ago I can't say I'm shocked that he got the boot.

    I remember when he coached the Falcons, he was a buddy-buddy type of coach, which, eventually, caused cliques, then animosities with/between certain players. He wasn't too mature and/or professional, IMO. He then screwed up on a local radio show, indicating (he claimed, jokingly) that his "dream job" was to coach the Washington Huskies. Nonetheless, that was his eventual undoing as the Falcons' coach.

    I never kept up with him at Seattle.
