SEATTLE (AP) -- Jim Mora, long assumed to be the successor to Mike Holmgren in Seattle, reportedly will be announced Wednesday as the Seahawks next coach.

Multiple reports Tuesday night said that the Seahawks will introduce the 46-year-old former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons as their coach for 2009 and beyond, following Holmgren's final season in Seattle.

Foxsports.com cited "league sources" in saying Mora will replace Holmgren. ESPN.com reported the same, adding that Mora has a new five-year contract with the Seahawks while citing "a source close to Mora." The Seahawks confirmed late Tuesday they will hold a press conference at noon local time Wednesday. The team would not confirm what it was about.
