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

So Mora didn't really want to be a Dawg

Unless you believe he didn't receive an offer at all.

We offered him millions of dollars. UCLA offered him millions of dollars. Maybe more than we did, maybe not.

But if the UW really was his dream job he would be on the way here.

Go ahead and blame this on "pool boy" or whatever conspiracy makes you feel better, but the bottom line is, Mora chose not to be a Dawg.

Husky football wasn't about Steve Sarkisian, and its not about Jim Mora.

    This from the guy who had trouble deciding if Sark was really good and Ty before him.

    But he has a point.

    If ... and that is a big if ... Woody went after Mora ... and laid down good money ... and Mora turned it down ... who's it on?

    Mora doesn't need money. Mother fucker made 25 million off his Seahawks contract, and would be pulling in 3 million a year here, with free housing, and other free shit.

    And you know damn well UW would have paid his coordinators, look what we did for Wilcox.

    So either Woody never went after him ... or Mora is happy where he is at.

    Or he's smart enough not to work for Woody.

    All we need is to figure out what we offered... so in other words we'll never know...

    Initial reaction from the interwebz is that Woody offered Mora more money than UCLA did, but Mora wanted to continue with what he is building in Westwood. I can't fault the guy for that. Mind you, he will never get another shot at UW.

    The problem is we will end up with another 2nd tier coordinator hire - and this probably locks UW in as a middle-of-the-road program unless Woody strikes gold.

    I'm not blaming Woody if he really went after Mora, and it sounds like he did.

    If you're referring to when he said he'd leave his wife for the wishington job; he ended up leaving his wife for a stripper a month later.

    What was it you guys said about people who put a particular coach above the program?

    I'm a Husky fan. Not a Mora fan or a Sark fan.

    You don't get a good coach to leave and move within conference by asking him if he wants a few extra bucks.


    You pull at the heart strings.

    You SELL HIM.

    I don't think poolboy did so.

    I'm sure he said "we'll pay more" and that was that.

    Look at the weaselly little fucker. I think he's afraid of Mora anyway and is worried about keeping a leash on him.

    It's easier to hire a nobody because then that person is beholding to you.

    Fuck poolboy and everyone else who thinks he tried.

    Respectfully yours.

    You hit on a good point there, unique situation

    Did publicly say he was friends w/ Poolboy (after the Hawks, he injured himself skiing/hung out around campus re-habbing), but who knows what to believe these days

    Woody, like Sark, is a salesman.

    Mora is a closer.

    Salesmen and closers do not work well together.

    You have a really strong point and shame me to fucking hell.

    He should have brought up the foundation and the financial commitment to it Washington donors would make.

    The need to rebuild the program by a Washington man.

    Fucking Christ.

    He likely ends up with a raise, more money for assistants, extracts more commitments for facilities and gets to plunger rape the 7 win wonder and dominate LA for the next few years until Haden is gone and they hire a real coach.

    According to the Times Mora got "assurances for better facilities"...

    Are you fucking serious? Assurances ... Woody got out sold on assurances!

    We have the fucking facilities!!!!!!

    It doesn't matter whether or not UW offered Mora $millions to coach his alma mater. Mora is still a young man on the rise in his craft and based on the kind of job he's doing with the Bruins, it appears he likes his job and situation at UCLA. The question is not why Mora would reject the opportunity to sign up for his so-called dream job, but why would he leave a good job he's obviously having success at and just as obviously enjoys the university he works for as an employer.

    The good college football coaches are paid a ton of money for what they do and good working situations like what Mora appears to have at UCLA are not as common as you seem to think and coaching Husky Football is simply no longer the brass ring it once was for coaches who hunger for or have a fire in the belly to be the best. Besides, Mora as a head football coach soon became unemployed in Atlanta not long after he declared UW to be his dream job and I think the young man must have learned a hard lesson about loyalty in the workplace from that experience.
