Here's what he said...

A transcript of the interview between Atlanta Falcons coach Jim Mora Jr. and KJR radio in Seattle

Interviewer: If it ever works out, if there's an opening, and you're available, we want you to coach the Huskies.

Mora: 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.

Interviewer: If you're available.

Mora: It doesn't even matter if I'm available.

Interviewer: So if you just won the Super Bowl, and it's available, you're there?

Mora: I'd be there

Interviewer: You're there, OK.

Mora: 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.

Interviewer: So, are you saying ...

Mora: 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...

Interviewer: You would leave the Falcons for that job?

Mora: Absolutely.

Interviewer: Wow.

Mora: As I'm sitting here, I'm looking at a Huskies helmet.

That's what he said, click the on the photo to read him back peddling.

Was this a joke, is Mora trying to get fired, what's the deal?

What wrong with saying youd like to coach the football team of your alma-mator, besides Ty Willingham has this Husky team heading in the right direction, there isnt even a job there.....yet.

It's not a good time to say something like this if you're the coach of another that's trying to get in to the post season. It' could become a "news story" and a distraction.

When is his contract up, anyone know?

I have to think this is a non event - no head coach would say that if his team were in a playoff run and he was offered a job somewhere else that he would leave that team :shock:

- this is obviously not very good for him to have said this BUT it was obviously a "joke".

He would even get outcoached at Washington. He is no head coach...
