Jim Mora and Doug Gottlieb didn’t hit it off too well

??????? D’led the halls of Flowery Branch are littered with AJC beat writers that rubbed this guy the wrong way.

Still, Gottlieb shows he is less of a journalist and more of an entertainer. Difficult for Mora to answer such a subjective line of questioning.

Of course MV is better now. It’s called life experience.

I met the Senior Mora in the San Diego airport in 1998. He was just as rude and condescending as his son is on this interview. Great gene pool on these 2 jerks.

Man, Mora comes off like such a snotty little jerk!! I think it was a fair line of questioning. As a Falcons fan, I know I am kinda ticked off that MV7 has such a great work ethic now, when he admitted that he was lazy as a Falcon. He even admitted he didn’t “prepare enough” for the NFC Championship game he played against the Eagles. That one really burns me!!! How many chances does a team get to make it to the Super Bowl?!?!? I hope Mora is never the “color commentator” on a Falcons game again. He was so irritating during the game against the Steelers.

let’s see Mike Smith, Jim Mora, who would I rather have as my NFL team’s head coach, hmmm… I’m sure he was just joking in this interview as well.

Mora had a talented group of players in Atlanta and could have gotten so much more but he didn’t make demands on them other than to be his good buddy.

Seahawks fans hate Mora:

“As a Hawks fan I’m so relieved that this guy is no longer the Hawks head coach. The Hawks would have never turned things around as quickly as they have if Mora was still the head coach. What a jerk. Tim Ruskell was an idiot for hiring Mora in the first place. He was the Hawks secondary coach and the Hawks secondary was the worst in the league. So they then promoted him to head coach. lol. God bless Pete Carroll for saving the franchise.”

He truly is a joke and a genuine disgrace to the sport. I think the biggest example of growth here is not Vick but Arthur Blank. He got snowed into hiring this pitiful circus clown and then his next hire was Mike Smith. Here’s to Mr. Blank for learning on the fly.

Lil’ Jimmy Mora is a chump…….

He allowed Vick to be a lazy punk in his preparation and practice. He couldn’t coach him in leadership because Lil’ Jimmy himself was, and obviously still is, a shallow little prick.

Is he ever going to get his Dream Job at the University of Washington?

Definitely a great line of questioning. Mora shud have thrown Vick under the bus just like Vick threw him under the bus. He tries to be too nice to players which is why he got fired in ATL and SEA. When you are too nice to athletes, they will manipulate and run over you to their advantage.

I an a Vick fan but it was obvious that the Falcon organization as well as Jim Mora was relying on the skills that Vick had already (running)and not developing any of Vick’s other potential strengths (passing).

Coach Jim Mora and Coach Singletary are cut from the same cloth…UNPREPARED and ILL-CONCEIVED.

Neither earned their way to be a NFL head coach. Both got their based on nepotism.

Interview is hilarious. Mora felt it when Doug spoke about him keeping his job in ATL. Poor question from Doug. Job of the interviewer to take the high road.

I always say don’t feed the trolls but I think we can make an exception for SeenThisB4. This peeshwank “seen” is an infantile idiot who makes no football commentary, just crys a river of tears………”We were cheated! You paid the refs! The Falcons got lucky!” He blindly supports a team who he thinks won’t let him down. He rides the coattails of where he seems to be apparently in an altered state of moral victory, without even so much as a bother to look at some stats. He is like a swaddled baby, no knowledge of what is real, just comfortable to be wrapped up tightly in his blankie of crap. He has got to be a sad case if the best he has in the world is to go on blogs just to be an A hole. Sad he gets his endorphin rush in a way that obviously says, “Help me, I am whacked out”.

Bad news for him though, the Saints had a nice ride but they have crested that wave and are going to be stuck in the trough of losersville again.

27-24 Falcons Win!!!

Veedub. Mike Vick has already admitted that he was immature and unfocused when he was in Atlanta. I’m not saying he’s not responsible for his actions. Typically people who are working in a capacity where they will have to confront a past collegue about their comments will fall on the sword in the interview and be self depricating whether or not the party deserves it or not. Mora agreed to an interview and then was displeased to find out that he would have to confront his own past dishonesty; failures and those of Michael Vick. I’m not sure I understand why he was caught off guard by the questioning but he could have handled it much more easily and in a manner which would have benefited him rather than become another piece of blog fodder. He had to know what the questions were going to be about.

I’m not saying Mike didn’t deserve it but going down that road is not the way professionals typically handle themsleves in national interviews.

Mike Vick was doing really well under Dan Reeves, then the team decided to go into another direction. A player friendly head coach. It was all down hill after the first season.

Mora has still never realized that he misused the personnel that he had available. The team was better than he could get them to play.

Mike Vick was too immature for his job and so was Jim Mora. Really bad combination for us.

Great implied question from Gottlieb that set Mora off: “You were getting paid to coach the Falcons and now the guy who was your QB and face of the franchise admits he was lazy when he played for you. Wasn’t it your job to get him to do the film study and work on his fundamentals?”

At least Gottlieb didn’t ask Mora about the time he was on the cell phone trying to find out what it meant for the Falcons playoff chances if the overtime game they were in finished in a tie. Mora’s head might have exploded.

On another note… We really need another receiver. I really wish ATL would have gone after TJ Houshamazelly!!!! They could have gotten him for at least a year at the league minimum 800,000 because SEA would be responsible for the remaining $7.2M of his $8M contract. Big mistake. Harry Douglas is struggling and not providing any production at all, although Matt Ryan has overthrown him a couple of times. If he doesn’t pik it up, we are going to be exposed because people are going to really start to focus even more on Roddy!!! What ya think PMC?

Michael Vick still owe’s this city and Aurthur Blank a public apology for his actions. I know a lot of people that will never forgive or root for the man until he own’s up to what he did to the city and franchise. He has a great opportunity to do this next week… We’ll see if he ever owns up to his transgressions to the fans who supported him for years, or not.
And if any of the media members have the balls to bring this up to him.

“Bad news for him though, the Saints had a nice ride but they have crested that wave and are going to be stuck in the trough of losersville again.”

Sid, the Falcons are 2-1 and the Saints are 2-1. You should probably refrain from bias and uneducated meteorological reports on wave action if you hope to maintain an illusion of credibility. Yes, I am a Saints fan, but unlike you, I’m a fan that happens to know some things about the game of football.

First off, congratulations on getting out of the Dome with a W last Sunday, but here’s why you should be concerned instead of elated about the results of the game (at very least, here’s why you shouldn’t make stupid homer comments like the one quoted):

The Falcons overwhelmingly won the posession battle, holding the ball for over three quarters of play (something that doesn’t usually happen to the Saints), the Falcons played at the top of their game all the way through, Drew Brees made some uncharacteristic mistakes that are few and far between, the Saints (who hold on to the ball as well as anyone) gave up three turnovers, the Saints D forced 0 turnovers, and the Saints played flat pretty much the whole game.
In a nutshell, the Falcons outplayed the Saints in most aspects of the game, yet still had to rely on a 1/100 missed field goal in overtime to win the game.
If it takes all that for the Falcons to beat the Saints, again, you should be worried.

If you’d like to point ahead to December 27 in Atlanta as your opportuntiy to prove me wrong, don’t bother. The Falcons will win that game too, because the Saints will be resting their starters.

Remember, it’s only been 3 games, and we’re the champs.

Wow, I gotta agree with Mora on this one, that interviewer is an idiot. I mean, “how should eagles fans feel?”??????? What the hell kinda question is that????? How the heck would you answer that? Some of these sportsradio talkshow hosts are just unbearable.

Also, did someone say that Vick needs to apologize to Arthur Blank and the city for his actions?????? Are you crazy? How many times has he apologized? What more does he have to say?

That was hilarious though, I loved hearing Mora call him out like that! That guy is a dbag.

Do you guys eve plan on letting go of the M.Vick thing, you white people keep this going on, and on, and on! Just to keep spewing your ill-will at this man over and over again, and for what? He doesn’t play here any more, and hasn’t for the last 3 years, but because he was a black QB, we have to continue to put up with all this hate and rancor. Whites have controlled and operated the falcons for almost 50 years and what has that brought, nothing but futility, regardless of who the QB was. The Falcons may have had 6 years of futility with M. Vick, but they’ve had 40 years of failure with white QBs, not 1 white falcons Qb have won the falcons a super bowl, and their only appearance was more as a result of Jamaal Anderson’s running ability, not Chris Chandler.The Falcons have only been to the NFC champ. game twice in 45 years, and one of those was with M. Vick at QB. So what is the excuse for all the failure of the white QBs here? Did they not work hard enough, or did they not take their jobs seriously, did they not have the ability? What excuses are you making for the other 40 years under white QBs???????
