My one issue is that his strong personality seems to be gelling just fine with Dan Guerrero and that merry group of LA pussies.
Even if he was ready to leave, I have to wonder if he'd still turn down the job as long as Babs Woodward is the AD.
Maybe Guerrero has a more hands-off approach?! He lets the coaches do their jobs and worries about the big picture when it comes to the athletic department. As for LA pussies, they ain't got shit on Seattle pussies. Seattle is in San Francisco territory when it comes to pussification. But, I digress.
As for your second point, I don't think Mora would want to coach at Montlake if the UW doesn't go out and get a real athletic director.
