The Seahawks fired coach Jim Mora after just one year, leaving the team without a coach, a GM or a president less than four years after they went to the big dance.
The team sent out a press release announcing the firing on Friday, less than a week after Mora finished up a 5-11 season after taking over his hometown team once Mike Holmgren ended his reign.
“We’ve made a tough decision today,” Seahawks chief executive Tod Leiweke said. “It became apparent after conducting an extensive internal audit, that a new direction was needed to provide an opportunity for the organization to be successful. Today’s decision, while difficult, is part of the process in building a franchise with a new vision in 2010.”
Leiweke called Mora “truly a standup man, who gave his full effort to our franchise.”
