    He was in good spirits, but he did not want to discuss the Washington Huskies opening, offering this politely when asked if he could comment on his status at UCLA and the Huskies opening amid speculation that he's coming or going, "I'm sorry, I can't. I really can't."

    Either he is seriously considering UW, or he is just trying to scare the shit (and the money) out of ucla.

    But he is recruiting players right now no way he could be in negotiations with someone else....

    This is big news. He is really considering it.

    Agreed. Sounded like he really felt bad having to issue a no comment. If you were staying you'd say so. Negotiations continue!

    What would be some nice therapy for this mass groupthink on Mora is to try the following:

    1) try to imagine Mora did not play for Don James
    2) take a coldblooded look at his record. It shows mediocre success in the NFL, and about the same success as Sark in cfb , at least this year. Maybe a tad better
    3) Explain how this makes him a great candidate in coldblooded terms.

    Better than stating he's not leaving but ultimately meaningless.

    It has been shown that NFL and college success are pretty uncorrelated. Look at Carroll, Saban, etc. UCLA vs UW is a better comparison

    I said "in cfb".... you fuck off. See, you can't think coldblooded, because you are all brainwashed and in mass groupthink mode.

    sark and mora both lost to the same teams this year, Mora has only the slight edge in head to head competition.

    I'm hearing Jim Mora will make a decision tomorrow whether or not to take the Washington HC job. He wants 24 hours to mull it over.

    UW never contacted Mora. He just wants UCLA to think so in order to get a raise. First he spurns the cake and now he used us as a bargaining chip. Excellent work Jim. Well played

    You are entering a level of fucktardum not yet explored by man. I am scared to death that there is even a .01% chance of Mora taking the UW job. That alone should put you on the bandwagon if Peter even lets you on it.

    No one here is clamoring for Pinkel.

    No one here is campaigning for Chris Tormey.

    No one here is arguing for Marquess Tuiasosopo.

    Multiple people here, myself included, have posted lists of preferred coaching candidates. Not one of those lists has included one coach with any ties to Don James or to UW other than Jim Mora.

    Of course, this has all been pointed out to you multiple times in various ways before. If you still think (and you do) that the only reason people want Mora are his ties to UW and/or Don James than you are Section14aFS.

  • Mora's no comment speaks volumes.

    NOT EVEN TOSH WOULD DO THAT! RIGHT?

    It sounds like Mixon, (who paid for his own trip to Seattle for the AC), and the rest of us are waiting for this to shake out.

    Mora uses his agent for a lot of the back and forth, (especially with UCLA, I hope). He's got time to do both recruit and negotiate. He hopefully stays arms-length with UCLA AD. USE YOUR AGENT!

    "No comment", is the classy way to say, "Things are going on, they're in a state of flux, and I'll tell you when I know something for sure."

    Mora is a classy guy. He doesn't want to seem that he bailed on UCLA at the drop of a hat. (For you Hatters out there.) He has to give UCLA a chance to counter, but Woodward has a bigger wallet.

    Deep breaths everyone.

    Jim Mora has two six win conference seasons in two years. Sark has zero six win conference seasons in five years.

    Get the fuck out.

    Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people, in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an incorrect or deviant decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative ideas or viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.

    Loyalty to the group requires individuals to avoid raising controversial issues or alternative solutions, and there is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and independent thinking. The dysfunctional group dynamics of the "ingroup" produces an "illusion of invulnerability" (an inflated certainty that the right decision has been made). Thus the "ingroup" significantly overrates their own abilities in decision-making, and significantly underrates the abilities of their opponents (the "outgroup").

    Antecedent factors such as group cohesiveness, faulty group structure, and situational context (e.g., community panic) play into the likelihood of whether or not groupthink will impact the decision-making process.

    Groupthink is a construct of social psychology, but has an extensive reach and influences literature in the fields of communication studies, political science, management, and organizational theory,[1] as well as important aspects of deviant religious cult behaviour.[2]

    Most of the initial research on groupthink was conducted by Irving Janis, a research psychologist from Yale University.[3] Janis published an influential book in 1972, which was revised in 1982.[4][5] Later studies have evaluated and reformulated his groupthink model.[6][7]

    As part of the "outgroup" it's your responsibility to come up with a critical thinking perspective. This is where you fail. Saying the have similar CFB records is false.

    Sark in five years was 34-29 .540 24-21 Pac 12 .533

    Mora in two years is 18-8 .692 12-6 Pac 12 .667

    Now if you have some critical thinking that can refute those cold hard facts, than so be it. But don't give me a definition of Groupthink aka. Conformity and think you're legit.

    I think Mora is better than Sark, and also that Mora inherited a better team from Neuheisel than what Sark got. But if you look at this year's results there is an eerie similarity of losses to the same teams. Mora took the Falcons to the NFC championship, but it was in his first year. After that it was down hill.

    Don't get me wrong -- he's a capable coach. But I think that people are overhyping him off the charts in Seattle right now.
