Playoffs? Jim Mora Fired by Seahawks after Just One Season (VIDEO)

The Seattle Seahawks fired coach Jim Mora after just one season, leaving the team without a coach, without a GM and without a president less than four years after they went to the Super Bowl.

The team confirmed the move via a press release on Friday, less than one week after Mora closed out a 5-11 season after taking over his hometown team at the end of Mike Holmgren‘s 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.”
