Mora, fired by the Seattle Seahawks after going 5-11 last season, will call games in a three-man booth with Dick Stockton and Charles Davis. (Like father, like son: Mora's father, Jim E. Mora, was an NBC NFL analyst in 1997 after resigning from coaching the New Orleans Saints.) Fox Sports vice chairman Ed Goren Sunday suggested Mora's on-air potential is a wild card: "With Mora, who knows? He's done a lot on the NFL Network. ... Jim wasn't ready to get back into coaching. The unknown is whether he gets tempted down the road."

Goren likened Mora's situation with ex-Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick joining Fox in 2008. Billick, said Goren, has embraced broadcasting. "But would he go back to coaching? I don't think even he knows."

Warner, who retired from the Arizona Cardinals after throwing for 32,344 yards over 12 NFL seasons, will call at least three games working with either Chris Myers or Chris Rose and, logically, start with the New Orleans Saints at Arizona on Oct. 10. (He'll be replacing Trent Green.)

"Kurt, coming off a possibly Hall of Fame career, had lots of opportunities and wasn't interested in doing a full season," Goren said. "He'll find out if this is something he really wants to pursue. And we didn't have a full-season slot open. So the deal, which came together in the last week, worked out well for everybody."

Mora and Warner join at least nine other on-air types who appear on the NFL Network as well as other networks — making the league's channel a sort of on-air driving range for announcers who call game action elsewhere.
