If Mike Holmgren Is The Walrus, Does That Make Jim Mora The Eggman?

The Seattle Seahawks plan to announce today their succession plan for when coach Mike Holmgren leave after the 2008 season, and those plans involve former Atlanta Falcons coach Jim Mora.

Mora, if you’ll remember, coached the Falcons for four seasons, taking the team to the NFC Championship game against Philadelphia in 2004. It was all downhill from there, though, and in 2007 he famously said in a radio interview he’d take the head coaching position at the University of Washington. Falcons owner Arthur Blank didn’t care too much for that and fired Mora at the end of the season. (This would of course set the stage for Blank to be betrayed again by Bobby Petrino.)

Well, at least Mora landed close to his dream job.
