Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Looking back, who had the more disappointing coaching career?

    I voted Rick but probably should have went Mora because he also leveraged UW to get raises at UCLA.

    Both are testaments to how hard it is to be the rah rah guy and also be the guy who can maintain order and be a gameday coach. You can see it in that all generally do well at first at their jobs then fall apart.

    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.

    Sounds like Stalin would rather be first than right.
    It’s what he was hearing at the time. Things changes all the time with coaching searches. If you can’t handle the ups and downs.

    I don't know. It seemed like Mora came closer to building his own success at UCLA than Neu did and that Neu flamed out faster there. I didn't pay close attention and it doesn't matter. Both disappointed in the end.

    Mora had a respectable start at UCLA and I think if he had eaten his birthday cake, he would have likely been an upgrade over the Sark years at UW.
    He wouldn't have gone owen12 in 08

    The vindication was Mora leading the other Huskies to a bowl last season. They had sucked for years.

    That was the original premise. He'd come in after 07 and get rid of the Ty stench and bring excitement back

    Yes we? wanted him again after 08 but Sark also brought some excitement back for a minute

    Ty still being here in 08 is unforgivable
    Mora would have been brought in for 2008 to clean up the program. Then the next coach would have had the foundation to win. *cough*

    Seal scrotum wallet > foreskin wallet. I bet so anyways.

    I finally voted and it was easy. I realized how doogish my expectations were for RN. It's what got me into this message board thing.

    I never really was sure how Mora would turn out. I wanted him at UW badly a couple of times but that was as much a function of who the incumbent was as it was about Mora.

    rick won a rose and popped off. also, beating the canes (when the canes still MATTERED) at husky stadium is also a nice feather. yeah, after that it was all downhill.

    mora was a pie guy, nuff said on that.
