Mora linked to Washington job
And with the Apple Cup over, and 12 days until the Huskies play their final game -- a Dec. 6 contest at California that seems ill-timed now -- the focus shifts to the search for a successor to Tyrone Willingham. Rumors have only intensified in recent days, many centering on Jim Mora, the Seahawks-coach-in-waiting. There has been speculation around the program that Mora is still in the mix to take over the Huskies, despite a statement on Oct. 31 that he was not a candidate for the job. However, some close to Mora in the last several days have indicated that there is no change in his status and that there is no reason to think he is a candidate at UW. One source also said over the weekend that the Huskies had offered the head coaching job to Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, who instead announced Tuesday he will become the head-coach-in-waiting for the Longhorns. Muschamp was defensive coordinator at LSU when UW athletic director Scott Woodward and president Mark Emmert each worked at the school.

No way Mora will pick college over an NFL head coaching job.

Right now I think UW would take anyone with a pulse that isn't named Ty.

He doesn't even have to move to take this job. It's a better fit than Les Miles.

Mora has stated that HC at UW is his dream job - he could very well move from NFL to college for it.

Didn't Mora lose his job with the Falcons because he stated he would take the WU job if offered?

Mora said this in an interview in 2006 (while he was coaching the Falcons):
"Well, I really have a lot of respect for Ty, and I know he'll do a great job. But if he ever decides to move on, and get in the NFL or you know, go back to Notre Dame or whatever, if that job's open you'll find me at the friggin' head of the line with my resume in my hand ready to take that job... It doesn't even matter if I'm available... Dewey, I promise you that. Now, I want to see Ty succeed, and I want to see that program succeed. But if he decides at some point that he's ready to move on and they want me, I will be there. I don't care if we're in the middle of a playoff run, I'm packing my stuff and coming back to Seattle... You know, it's funny, and I mean that, and I'm dead serious, the further I get away from it the more I'm drawn to it. You know, that's the job I want, so... As I'm sitting here, I'm looking at a Huskies helmet."

Mora lost his job b/c he didn't know how to use Vick properly. He lost the job right before the whole dog fight fiasco. The funny thing is: no one would have used Vick properly probably.

I guess if you're a reporter with no story to write on you can just start a rumor.
No wonder Saban just broke down and said he wasn't going anywhere a few years ago. He was trying to get these sleeze buckets out of his hair...... Jeez
