Looking back, who had the more disappointing coaching career?

MelloDawg

Jim L. Mora

I’ve had trust issues for the last 17 years as a result of the HHB podcast announcing Jim Mora would be the next UW head coach at that time.

Rick Neuheisel

There are two schools of thought

Who was the better coach? I agree it's Rick

Who was more disappointing to me as a Husky fan? Rick because he was actually the Husky coach and teased us all

Once Ty was retained and Mora joined the Hawks he was off the board

Another reason to vote for Mora. I can’t remember the timing, but probably after Sark took the USC job (praise unto St Haden), I woke up around 2am and saw a text from Stalin telling me Mora was coming to UW.

I was so excited I couldn’t get back to sleep. My wife woke up and I shared the news. She wasn’t as excited as I was.

I didn't see this until now. Yes, I had two credible people with different affiliations both tell me that it was Mora. Looking back it was idiotic of me obviously

It seems like it would have been earlier than Dec 2013.

Mora was born on third base and is now trying not to get picked off at first.

Something about UCLA isn't right, but it's clearly Rick.

Mora been to the playoffs in the NFL and is still going with positive press at UCONN.

Rick got heat for flirting with the NFL, landed his dream alma mater job and tanked.

You need to win one game with a random roster choose Rick, but building something Mora has earned a bit more.

Nobody thinks of Corso as a coach, he's a personality first with grainy footage of him roaming the sidelines. Rick is closer to the Corso track than not.

Yeah, it might’ve been earlier but was definitely 2010 or later.

I say Mora because there was a time where it felt like he was on an upward trajectory with a certain path to playoffs? glory. With RN, it always felt one guitar chord short of a sustainable championship effort.
