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

If you're UCLA, at what point do you fire Mora?

    UCLA has hired, in succession:

    Bob Toledo, Karl Dorrell (WTF?), Rick Neuheisel and Jim Mora.

    Mora has been about the same as Toledo (started well, descent into inevitable UCLA mediocrity) and those are easily the two best hires.

    UCLA will never be good. They've never been good.

    If I were them, I would hire back Skippy and give him a lifetime contract; fuck it.

    I was on the Mora bandwagon in 2007. But that "descent into ______" has been his MO. Started strong at Atlanta, then slid, then embarrassed ownership, then fired. He plain sucked at Seattle, even lost the fucking team, there's no dismissing that. Started strong at UCLA, slid, and is now looking quite mediocre. He's a shit head coach, no excuses necessary, there's just no way around it and no point in trying to defend the guy as a head coach. He is a Husky though, so he'll always have a place in many Husky Fan's hearts and minds, but fer crisssakes keep him on some else's sidelines during game time.

    To the OP, Guerrero should be on the phone now working through back channels to gage interest in the job. And, unless Mora totally turns it around, he should be fired near the end of the season. Ideally before the USC game to avoid controversy in the event of a lucky win with him still in charge, and early enough to bring a new staff onboard with time to work some damage control with recruits. That won't likely happen though. UCLA is a basketball school first and foremost.

    It's UCLA

    The Rams will fire Fisher and UCLA will give Mora another extension

    Mora's hire back after 2007 was desired because you knew he could get the program back to being a bowl team consistently, had the personality to improve recruiting, and had ties to the program in a way that made you think that he'd be here for a while if things worked. In other words, a slightly better version than Sarkisian.

    But the people that thought he was a slam dunk hire that was going to win championships ... there's nothing in his resume to have suggested that.

    And the biggest issue may have been that getting rid of him would have been a challenge.
