    Mora leaving could be a good thing for UCLA. He upgraded the talent and expectations (to some degree). He just can't actually coach. His reputation is somehow much greater than what is deserved. He's from a football family and part of the good ol boy network.

    The doogs who hate Mora are dumb, but he's an average coach.

    Down the stretch Mora showed signs of really being checked out.

    Could be a good thing if we nail the hire, as inTom Herman. I know he's turned downed sec jobs, but he's a SoCal native, coming home to coach a heisman caliber talent at QB, new facilities. It makes some sense. A broon can hope...

    I know you're not a mora fan, but I think he significantly upgraded the job and will make hiring the next guy easier. But Guerrero can definitely fuck this up.
    You could easily do worse than Mora, but you are at the point where it's probably worth the risk. Herman and Chip are probably long shots, but either would be an incredible get and immediately put UCLA in the driver's seat to go on a run in the South.

    Chip is a long shot or no-shot. I don't think Herman is a long shot for the reasons I mentioned.

    Dave Aranda is also from that same Cal Lutheran program that turned out Herman. I think he's an up and coming young coach with SoCal ties. Maybe a big risk for a head job.

    I bet at worst, we could get someone like Wittingham. Son just graduated from Utah, losing a lot on offense. He's complained about His budget in the past. He'd be a marginal upgrade over Mora.

    Mora really rode his year with elite Mike Vick. Similar to Chizik with Newton.

    such as? losing games doesn't count as "showing signs" because everyone loses games

    The body language from the entire team in the bowel game was bizarre. Beat reporters noted that he was unusually tense this season. Stuff like that.

    I've heard he's considering leaving, but it's thought he'll return. He's not a TE, not a WR, and he's Asian. Great college player, don't see what he does in the NFL.
