Mora is in the running for the Seahawks' head coaching job if Mike Holmgren decides to retire next week. Holmgren is taking the weekend to think about whether or not he wants to coach next year. Mora, as well as Indianapolis Colts' Defensive Coordinator Ron Meeks, were part of the first round of the Redskins' interviews to replace departed Coach Joe Gibbs, who retired from the NFL on Jan. 8.
