    And the difference between Petersen and Mora? Petersen could be at UW for 10-15 years. Mora probably goes back to the NFL in the next few years.

    Wow, couldn't disagree more on Mora. Why would he abandon the juggernaut he will have built? He's in the realm where he belongs -- college football!

    I think the competitor in him wants another chance at the NFL. I don't know if that will be in two years or five, but I see him jumping at some point. Who knows though? It's definitely jumping the gun to say he's building a juggernaut. He's building a very good program, but it's a tough conference and things can change quickly.

    It's a good idea to try to get a coach with higher aspirations and hope that he will jump ship to the NFL after 4-5 years, because if he does jump ship, it means you've had some good success. That's one of the differences between Chip Kelly and Helfrich. Kelly wanted more. Helfrich has stated that Oregon is the pinnacle of his career.

    You're comparing Boise and UCLA.

    By all accounts he's a loyal guy, his wife loves LA, and if he builds something special that's something to savor not abandon for the Not For Long league.

    I just don't see Mora at UCLA for a long time. I think another 4 years at most but thats just an opinion.

    I do think that one great thing about Petersen we haven't acknowledged is its very likely UW could be his last job. Having a great coach for 4-5 years is one thing but then having a great coach for potentially 10-15 years is another.
