MORA ON HIS SEATTLE SUCCESSOR: CONTROL & MOTIVATION EASIER WITH COLLEGE PLAYERS – As he prepares for his rookie season with FOX Sports, former Seahawks head coach Jim Mora looks at Pete Carroll’s chances of having success with his former franchise. “Pete’s spent 15 years in the NFL and has grown from his coaching experience but it’s not easy to make the transformation from coaching in college to the pros. In college, you have very tight control of your players but less control in the pros. From a motivational standpoint, college players listen more because they are striving to get to that next level.”
