he's OK, but not that great.... about 500 in the pros, somewhat better at UCLA with neu's recruits....a loser with the hawks he's better than Sark, but so are a lot of other guys. Having known Don James and being an alum makes no difference... it's all in your head, hype that will wear thin sooner or later, just like it does for virtually all alums hired as coaches.RoadDawg55 said:
Completely disagree and you aren't looking at the facts of what Mora has done at UCLA. All coaching hires are a risk, and I don't think Mora is perfect, but the early returns show he is a damn good coach. I'm all for looking at the pros and cons of Mora, but from everyone's perspective but yours and Kim Grinolds', he would be a home run hire.ApostleofGrief said:I like the list except Mora... I think hire-the-alum is a mistake as you well know. It makes the fans feel good, but let's face it, if Mora had no association with Don James he'd be a just another respectable face in the crowd of prominent coaches.

Pete Lembo and Tim Deruyter will prob be snatched up in the next few weeks. UW only has to pay those guys $1-2 mil/year.

If Mora shits the bed at UW, I will want him fired. However, I think a coach who has improved a program from being a 6-6 type team to a 9-3 team with the arrow pointing up would be a great hire.ApostleofGrief said:

The 18 true freshman and the sophomores who play aren't Neu recruits. Not to mention UCLA's best player, Anthony Barr is a guy who was being wasted on offense that Mora converted to OLB. Give him some fucking credit. I'm not really concerned about the lack of NFL success, although he did have a little bit, and outside of the year with the Seahawks, he wasn't that bad.
Mora is an energetic, a great recruiter, has good early results, and would be a splash hire. I have a few minor concerns about him, and I don't think he is all that great of a defensive mind, but unless we are getting Saban or Urban Meyer, he is as good as we are going to do.

Chuck Martin is my pick to replace Helf. I know three guys that played for him at Grand Valley and they basically said they weren't really anymore talented that the teams they played but they played sound football and extensive effort was put into developing the depth.
Basically, he sounds like Chip Kelly 2.0 -
Mora knows what he is doing, I grant you. He's a journeyman head coach. But looking at his results this year, it's not much different than the results for UW. The situation is different, I know, but the results are scarily similar. Losses to stanford, oregon, ASU.... actually Mora sounds like Marinerization to me. He's going to be nice, solid, and dependable, a real UW man, get the fans in the stands.... and lose about the same as Sark.RoadDawg55 said:

Anyway, it's not good for the conference anyway. USC is stupid to hire Sark, and it be only a slight trade up for UW to get Mora. He's better than Sark, agreed, but you guys are attaching waaaaaaaaay too much hype to him with his knew-Don-James label.

Here is my list:
1. Mora, this will be his third year as a head coach and he'll do everything possible to win at UW. He's the best coach on the field enough said about that.
2. Mora- He will recruit an OL that averages 332 lbs and they'll be ready to rumble.
3. Mora- the players will have spoken about the difference between Sarkisian 2013 and Mora 2014.
4. Mora- Speed, speed, speed. Mora will recruit some speedsters to this program. The newbies will be inexperienced but will give us speed that we haven't had in a long time.
5. Mora- He'll have UW control the clock as they hang onto the ball. UW will win the time of possession.
With Mora I say UW wins every game rather easily say 34-17? -
does this mean he gets more than Siete W's?
