SEATTLE, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- The Seattle Seahawks fired Coach Jim Mora Friday following a 5-11 season that ended with a four-game losing streak.
No successor was named, but the Los Angeles Times reported the Seahawks were close to reaching an agreement to replace Mora with Southern California Coach Pete Carroll. The newspaper said Seahawks officials interviewed Carroll in Los Angeles this week and were close to a deal for him to become team president and coach for five years at $7 million per year.
