The meltdown? It was when he was the head coach of the Saints, near the end of the season, from what I can recall. He was fired shortly thereafter.

An all-time classic.

I think it was when he was the head coach of the Colts.

I think BK was referring to the fact that the question posed to Mora was something to do with the playoffs and he started his statement "PLAYOFFS?" and then went on to discuss how horrible his team was and that they shouldn't be thinking about the playoffs.

You are correct sir...

That was his rant when he coached the Colts.

While Mora used the term "sucked" in his rant with the Colts, his classic and infamous "WE SUCK" rant came when he was coaching the Saints, and Benson sh*tcanned him shortly thereafter.

I'm 99.5 percent sure of that.

Confirmation from a Web site:
>>>1996: On October 20 after a 19-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Head Coach Jim Mora rips into his team at a press conference declaring, "We Suck". One day later Mora, who had coached the Saints for 10 and half seasons, and brought them to the playoffs resigned. LB Rick Venturi would take over for the rest of the season. The Saints would end up with an awful 3-13 record, giving some credence to Mora's statements.<<<

Mora quit. I thought Benson fired him.

Yup, that was my all-time favorite.

I miss Jim Mora press conferences.

The only thing that rivals those now, are the weekly Bill Parcells vs. the Dallas Media press conferences on Monday Mornings.

BK:

Here's the extended version of the Mora Meltdown with the Colts that you love so much. The look on his face when he says, "PLAYOFFS?" is pure gold:

I thought Herm said the right thing.... sometimes reporters ask the dumbest question. Every coach wants to win every game, regardless of record (unless you are ML Carr and the owner told you to tank the season, hehe).

Here's a great article about my favorite NFL player, Marvin Harrison:

Wow, that Philly loss sucked.

Kudos to the Tampa kicker though.

No doubt. Tom Dempsey would have been a footnote if that ball was 3 yards back, because that kick would have been good from 65 yards.

But I took Philly on my damn parlay!

You gotta love 10 out of 17 remaining teams in a 25 team survivor pool going down with Jacksonville. Now I've only got 6 teams to beat, and my 20 dollar investment, brings me 500 bucks.

It was a banner day to have Sunday Ticket! What a crazy bunch of games. That FG kick by Tampa was unbelievable.

Go Rams. Nothing like picking up some valuable ground during the bye week. hehe

It's always good when the NFL's best young defender (Merriman) gets dinged 4 games for Steroids. First the loss to KC and now the suspention. What a great day for San Diego fans.

Lord, the patellar tendons, too. That just hurts even thinking about it. Next to the Achilles, that might be the largest tendon in the human body.

Can any doctors confirm? Tony (MUTTS)?

I tore a pateller tendon in my right knee playing baseball a few years back. It is a b*tch to rehab from and you will NEVER be the same after it. You usually take out about 3/4 of the cartelidge in your knee when you do it, so arthritis is in his future. It took me about 2 years to play at full speed, and about 4 to play without pain.

On the good side, I had an awesome doctor (the Diamondbacks ortho surgeon) and a good rehab clinic (Donovan McNabb works there in the offseason in Phoenix, well at least until this year)...so I know I got good care, not just from some shmo off the street.

Anyone hear the latest on the Denny Green situation in Arizona? It was reported on ESPN that he will be gone after the season and maybe as soon as next week.

I still don't know why people think he's a great coach, I mean what has he really done in the NFL as a head coach? He won some games in Minnesota but that division has sucked for some time before Tampa got good.

Denny Green got two teams to the NFC Championship game. Yeah, he lost both of them, but getting there is more than a lot of coaches have done. Looking at his stint in Minnesota, he made the playoffs 8 out of 10 years, going 5-8 (after losing his first four) if I'm adding correctly.

I wouldn't say he's a great coach and I definitely wouldn't want him in charge of my team, but to act like he hasn't done anything isn't fair to the guy. Living in the Twin Cities, I'm amazed at the hatred fans still have for him.

"If you're looking for Denny Green, look on the high road 'cause that's where I'm gonna be."

He never had a losing year in 9 years at Minnesota and had 5 seasons where his team won 10 games or more. His playoff record sucked ( 4-8 ) but I can see why he was given another shot. He certainly makes more sense than a lot of the retreads that get hired.

However, his time is definitely up in Arizona. With the fans at least excited about Leinart, a coaching move could at least give them some shred of hope for next year, especially if they bring in a name-brand guy.

There are a lot of people on this board much more knowledgeable than myself when it comes to the NFL, but it just seems like it is damn near impossible to be a successful coach at Arizona and Detroit.

I swear you could put almost anyone in this position and the results would be the same. Put bkrich at head coach, db at defensive coord., pk at offensive coord., XXXIV at special teams and they would win as many games as the recent staffs.
