Seattle Seahawks assistant Jim Mora released a statement Friday saying he's not interested in the Washington job.

This is a day after Mora refused to talk about the Washington job.

There was no reason for Mora to obfuscate on Thursday. All it did was make it a two-day story.

He's not a college coach, where there's incredible risk in expressing interest in another job. College coaches must constantly think about recruiting and booster relations.

College Coach A at Mid-Major X can't say he'd like to talk to folks at Elite Major Power Y without making Mid-Major X's fans mad. And Mid-Major Z's coach then will trench Coach A during recruiting.

There few emotional issues in the NFL. It's a business, pure and simple. There are rules and a bottom line and everybody knows that.

Of course, if Nick Saban taught us anything, it's that just because a guy says one thing today, doesn't mean he might say something different tomorrow.
