Mora Gets the Nod
Listen, my speculation about Belicheck was not a prediction. No, really. It would only be considered a prediction if it came true.
That won't happen, since Jim Mora, Jr. was named the next head coach of the Seahawks. I bet there will more sucking up to a position coach than has ever been seen on a team, as other coaches try to impress Mora enough to be offered jobs next year.
I like what Mora did with the secondary and that he's a defense-oriented guy. No doubt his first order of business will be canning John Marshall, after which the wife and I will hold a small celebration.
However, Seattle needs some serious tuning on the offensive side of the ball this offseason. A new line coach is on the way (yah!) but they also need a big, fast reciever. Branch just hasn't worked out so far but I think 2008 might be a good year for him if he can (finally) stay healthy.
Alexander needs to go and be replaced by a young stud in the draft. A talented (and smart) offensive lineman or two, a catching + blocking tight end. Not too much, then.
The front office has a lot of work to do.
