I don't think so... I have a really hard time seeing Pete Carroll leaving USC. Unlike all the other guys trying to jump to the NFL, or others trying to get back in, Carroll has said numerous times that he's already done his time in the bigs and much prefers running the show in college.

As strange as it seems, I thought about that one the other day.

Mora may want Washington but Alabama is the job that is still open and Arthur may/should tell him to hit the road unless Atlanta wins the SuperBowl.

can't see Mora at Bama...if he can't cut it with the Falcons, what's he going to do with the Bama faithful? I do think though, he'd be better in college than in the NFL.

It's definitely a different world. Gene Stallings couldn't cut it with Arizona Cardinals (nobody else has either), but within 3 years won a National Championship at Alabama.

can you say Pete Carroll? you're right...the NFL requires a different personality and work ethic than college does...and not that it's a bad thing, it's just different.

and unfortunatley, most coaches don't know it until they are figuring it out for themselves...the hard way.

That is so true. It's crazy the number of coaches going in both directions have fallen flat on their faces. There aren't very many that have been successful at both.

yep, which is why, as much as i hated the guy, i have to give Jimmy Johnson a ton of credit. that guy won everywhere...can't give Barry a lot...just never bought in to him actually "coaching" the cowboys...rather just sitting around saying "yes" to JJ and telling Troy, Mike and Emmit to "go play".

i think Mora is done regardless of how Atlanta plays on Sunday. those comments he made about Washington really did him in.

that and losing to Carolina, a pathetic Carolina team that had nothing really to play for at that, in the GA Dome, also didn't help.
