Big mistake
-
It's almost a comedy by now
-
He hasn't won shit
-
...unless he decides to go somewhere else or they fire him.
-
his Pac-12 Championship trophy means nothing to me.

Why would this be a big mistake? Not being a smartass but generally asking.....RaceBannon said:

It's a mistake because Mora is rubbing people the wrong way at UCLA and will implode thereHuskyJW said:Why would this be a big mistake? Not being a smartass but generally asking.....

LIPO.....and see if money flows.
-
But, but I heard from a skinny jeans wearing faggot(75K) that Mora is like that hot girl at the bar always flirting with other guys when her boyfriend is there. We all know how that is going to end....
-
Hopefully the Seahawks follow suit and lock up Carroll until 2019.
-
Over/Under 5 yrs before he jets for the pros
-

Mora is a good football coach, but LIPO. There is some sloppiness there and i'm not fully sold he is what everyone thinks he is here.
Definitely needs some fine tuning during his UCLA internship before he's ready for his dream job. -
Why would they willingly increase the price of the implosion? Is Pat Haden FS running all the ADs in LA?

Aaaaandy gave this dramatization last week of how Mora agreed to terms with Texas, sat at the table with the papers in front of him and then walked away without signing the contract. They love to play him up like some kind of evil villain over there with this over the top bullshit. By the way, did you know that it is now common knowledge over there, with absolutely no substantiated evidence, that Mora was the rat in the Tosh case.
-
They must really enjoy being "rubbed the wrong way."
They also must not care about recruiting, kind of like UW. -
Let's see how he does when he does when…. Wait and see.
-
I just don't fully trust a coach that would have lost to Sark at home if Sark wasn't so groggy from all the antibiotics he had to ingest after his slumming in hollywood all week.
-
Once he beats Stanford and/or Oregon he'll leave for the NFL. LA is Sark's town.

Based on what?pat_hm said:Once he beats Stanford and/or Oregon he'll leave for the NFL. LA is Sark's town.

Sark will be fired in 3 years. I am worried more that Carroll will put him on the Hawks staff. Beast Mode ---> bubble screen.
-
I do think that like it was with Carroll, it's a matter of time before Mora goes back to the NFL. I don't think he will for another 3 or 4 years though.

Mora has unfinished business. He's a sub-.500 coach in the NFL and he wants to prove that he can win in the NFL. The parallels to Pete Carroll are undeniable and no doubt Mora believes he can mirror the success that Pete has had at the professional level. Mora feels the same as Carroll in that it always pissed Pete off that critics said he could only win with college kids. It eats at JLM that if he stays in college for the rest of his career he'll always be known as coach who couldn't hack it in the NFL but was pretty good in college.DerekJohnson said:

Mora has already been anointed a savior in the eyes of UCLA fans in LA. He's 2-0 vs SC. He's played in a PAC12 Championship game. That's really all they care about. UCLA is still a basketball school and always will be. JLM has already exceeded the expectations that were set for him after Rick. Mora could win 7 games next year and they'd still love him. After the last two years he's had at UCLA he would have to fail pretty hard to have his stock drop significantly. Mora is invulnerable in Westwood.
I live in LA and the UCLA fan base is worse than UW's. The majority know absolutely nothing. I've been to games at the RB and it's pathetic. The students don't want to drive up to Pasadena and fight the traffic on a Saturday. UCLA will always be little brother to the Trojans in addition to all the other attractions LA offers. They're used to being USC's bitch and the fact that he's beat them the last two seasons means all the world to that fan base. They can talk shit when previously they were intimidated. With that being said, even with Sark, USC is still the king of the castle and that will never change.
This is why Mora is literally playing with house money despite his only semi-impressive wins being against Southern Cal and Nebraska. Either way he's in a great situation. If he does really well (Rose Bowl or BCS victory) he'll feel ready to take the next challenge (NFL). However, if he struggles he can always jump up to the NFL because every year there are a minimum of 4-6 coaching positions available. He's in the perfect situation for an upward career move to the National Football League. Contracts don't mean shit these days.
No doubt Mora has done some great things in his first two seasons in Westwood. He's built a culture that previously wasn't present. They're playing hard and sending guys to the league. They beat who they're supposed to beat. But the fact remains he's 1-5 vs Stanford, Oregon and ASU combined. If he can beat a Stanford or an Oregon he'll have accomplished all he needs to and justify the next step in his career progression.
This is all conjecture on my part but I think if Mora really wanted to continue in the college ranks for the rest of his coaching career he would be at Texas or UW right now. Texas is easily a Top-3 program. Best of breed. The resources in Austin trump UCLA. TEXAS IS A FOOTBALL SCHOOL. If you wanted to finish you're career in college why not take the Texas job? Fuck the prom queen and go for the big splash. BOOM. Make a statement that you're not fucking around. That's the kind of guy we all know Mora is. Or come home to Washington and finish your career at UW. Finish off what Don James started. WIN ROSE BOWLS. He had offers to coach at both schools but turned them down to stay at UCLA because it's safe for right now he knew deep down he eventually is going to leave for the NFL. -
They must have the most pathetic following for being a basketball school. New arena, can't sell it out. UCLA is a Melrose ln. school.pat_hm said:DerekJohnson said:

Mora will win at UCLA. When LA gets the NFL expansion team, he'll be the HC and an LA hero.
-
Didn't Paul Allen pay Mora $20 million to sit in his mom's basement in sweatpants?
Mora doesn't need the money. -
Gosh! An on-campus football stadium at UCLA...... could it actually happen? Might do more for Bruin football than any NFL coach-in-training regardless of Husky genes.
-
Does this mean no more dumbfuck Mora to Timbuktu threads?
