I think next year is the year you will see Mora's effect on the UCLA program. They are already improved but I think he will be in a BCS bowl next year.
I agree with the sentiment though about if their is a coach better than Mora out there go for him. Mora is only talked about so much here because he is the obvious choice and if pool boy tossed enough cheddar (I like to call money cheddar it is something I like to do) at him he would switch.
This podcast affirms the sense I had after hearing Mora on the Dan Patrick show late last week. Like whuggy, I was a bit slow about appreciating what Mora could do for the program. He seems to have a vacancy in his heart and soul that will only be filled by returning to WA as the head coach.
There may be better qualified candidates, but I doubt there would be any with more passion for WA football than Mora.
I hope, without any realistic expectation of it happening, Mora becomes the HC at WA before next season.
Don James didn't always win championships. He had some lean years. But you always felt he was getting the most out of what he had and if he had a bad year he was going to work his ASS off to fix it. Mora gives me the same feeling. With Sark, I feel like when he fucks up his solution is to just turn the music up louder at practice. Guess I'm kind of old school Husky but just want to get back to days that even if you lost, at least you hurt a few of theirs, legally of course. Come home Jim.
Oneil: "there was a very specific way that washington played under coach james. That you knew the strengths you were gonna get from them, you knew the emphasis on special teams, you knew the level of discipline and accountability." Yep

Exactly, every coach is going to have down years. The thing is "down" years for great coaches are like 8-5/9-4.
Don't forget- Sark feasted on Utah and Colorado in 11& 12. If he played UCLA & ASU instead of the usual 5-4, he'd probably be 4-5 at best.
He's 1-3 right now, second from last in the PAC 12 North. It's debatable that he gets to 4-5 this year. He could very well could end up 3-6 with wins vs Cal and Colorado, losses @UCLA, @OSU and vs WSU.
Mora "the underachiever" will get us to 8-5. He showed on Saturday why he is not the answer. There must be a better answer.
Shouldn't he go 8-5 at UCLA first before you say he'll get UW to 8-5?
How does the South make a difference when UCLA plays both Oregon and Stanford from the North this year? UCLA is unlucky enough to skip OSU and WSU this year. These misses are the same quality as UW's misses of Utah and USC. There's a chance that Mora has as many wins in years 1-2 as Sark in years 1-3.

A couple quereeries:
1) Who's in charge of arranging the charter plane to get us all down to Westwood to plead our case?

Who's making the cake?
UW plays there in November. Get a group together to kidnap both Mora and Sark on the way to the game. Put Mora in a purple shirt and stick in UW's locker room. Put Sark in powder blue and in UCLA's locker room.
It'd look perfectly natural. After all, Sark is Rick without the Rose Bowl.
We'd probably get caught after the UW victory when everyone realizes UW under Sark doesn't win on the road.

Or do we need to let it play out when he gets all his own guys?

Still too early about calling Mora elite though.
New coaches get three years, don't they?
Let's be honest, Sark could do that is the south.
Die in a fucking freak blimp accident.
Fuck these assholes. Run them all
