Breaking news on contract negotiations with Mora. Fuck.

LoneStarDawg

LIFPO, this means we definitely offered him something that has his attention, UCLA would be stupid to not try to counter. Now is when woodward proves he has balls and closes.

I like Danny Boy in this one.

I'm the internet half brain who's sitting in his bed at 1:13am waiting for nuggets of information, so what the fuck do I know.

You are an idiot if you think Woody and Mora are talking without conferencing in a Fetters, Bleenor, Biggins, Feldman, etc.

Belief is it's over the extension he got earlier this year and the buyout

You could be right however I come back to I can't remember a team saying their coach is going to leave.

Until he comes here or flat says no I won't believe anything.

Maybe the BRO guys are pathological liars like the DM guys. Unlikely, but a man can dream.

Reading BRO twitter feed they have been putting their head in the sand the past 12 hours vehemently denying Mora would have any interest in UW. I don't trust them.

1. Sark got an offer that Woodward didn't counter because he wanted Sark gone.
2. Mora got an offer that FUCLA wants to counter. The game is on. FUCLA has never won a football bidding war. They don't pay top dollar for football HC's.

can't discount the possibility Mora has a good gig going at UCLA, owns the town and just used Woody's desparation and Sarks new fortune to enhance his UCLA deal to a market rate contract.

UCLA has alumni that could pony up $4-5 million/year with pocket change and of course, UCLA got the same $300 Million in TV money everybody else in the conference got. What have they spent it on so far?

UCLA is not a separate 501(c)(3), like we are. They're set up like Cal. Everything has to go through the Regents and the Chancellor. The AD can't negotiate independently. Just like when we stole Tosh, Cal couldn't respond quickly. UCLA cannot respond quickly. Woodward has his own money, separate from upper campus. Donors cannot give directly to the AD at UCLA unless the Regents set it up ahead of time. At UW, they can.

Our $300 million went to Woodward. UCLA's money went to the University. If you think State Schools in Washington are strapped, you have no idea how strapped they are in California. The UCLA AD will be lucky to get half that money.

That's why UCLA will always be little brother in LA. USC is private and can do anything they want.

Remember the Tosh bidding, and relax. If Woodward wants this deal, it will work. If he doesn't, it won't.

If there's a bit of hope we can somewhat rely on, it's that Dan Guerrero could possibly be a bigger fuck up than Woody.

I want to believe you know what you're talking about. What you say makes sense.

not exactly.

UW is a state school. the coach gets a state pension. the football stadium was built with the full faith and credit of the State school. The head coaches contract has to be approved by the Board Of Regents which has the overall University to consider and the political implications of excessive coach contracts when they beg the legislature for money.

death2ducks

More proof that the UCLA AD did NOT get the $300 million. The Regents got it.

"UCLA intends to build a football-only facility at Spaulding Field, which would include a locker room, weight room, meeting rooms and offices for coaches. The university has hired an architect and is trying to raise $50 million for the project. Washington completed renovations on its football facilities, including Husky Stadium, last summer." LA Times

Hey, I don't know if it will work, but I'm betting on "POOL BOY". I thinks he's got his shot lined up.

I had lots of time to think when I was cleaning toilets on Wall Street.
