I'm gonna go with a fat, hefty, resounding NO on this idea. We hired a guy that wore a fucking visor, how did that turn out? Now we're gonna go sweater vest? the fuck outta here. Also, he'd cost too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just long enough to run the program even further into the ditch with NCAA violations, before he leaves again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's figured out the rules, just not the coaching. I suppose there is a correlation there in this case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Mora was the right hire in 2012, but his extension was ridiculously bad business. TL:DR - Mora is not a CEO, he's a disinvolved micromanager that will be more strongly remembered for his failures rather than his contributions. Are we talking about the same Jim Mora here? He has all kinds of embarrassing personality behaviors, the guy is an ass hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 *shrugs* being a dick at times seems to be a quality of pretty much every coach. But i never said no embarrassing personality behaviors, I said no embarrassing personal behaviors. You know, getting arrested, getting caught with a coed on the back of your motorcycle, showing up at a fundraiser kids ass drunk, playing alledged rapists (you gotta admit, you walked into that one), or locking a kid in a shed.

For a guy who's from Seattle and played at UW he's worn out his welcome up here I can tell you that. Personally aside he's just not a good coach, I'm not sure why any ucla fan defends the guy. If UCLA was smart they'd fire him at seasons end and hire Norvell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a childish temper, and the resume is really not that impressive. His one-year stint with the Seahawks was a joke. He was in way over his head.

EastCoastFan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Mora has done less with more than any coach in the country. Continued top ten recruiting classes and on-field disasters. Every other team in the conference prays he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scscsc89 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Not counting Oregon State, how many head coaches will the Pac12 be replacing this offseason. I put the O/U at 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Who else is really hot? Mora has low expectations, Leach is essentially a God, Helton is going to win the south, Taggert lose his QB, Graham probably just needs to be bowl eligible, and Mac is one year removed from winning the south.
