The Holiday Bowl is not a good bowl since it was demoted in 2009.

Understood but still better than the Las Vegas Bowl, plus his recruiting, plus changing "The Culture" at UCLA. In one year Mora has completely changed the expectations at UCLA.
 
Here's a better pole querey:

Who is the one person who voted for Ty?

IMALOSER

I voted for Mora.

When you take a team that lost the 2011 Pac-12 championship game and you lead them to a loss in the 2012 Pac-12 Championship game, it's a no brainer. No other coach in Pac-10/12 history has ever taken over a team that lost the Championship game and lost it the next year. I value coaches that accomplish great feats like that.

Marv Levy gets my vote as greatest NFL coach. Lose 4 straight Super Bowls and then pop off!!!

I know you're being sarcastic but if you can't see that leading a team to a PAC-12 championship game loss that lost in the PAC-12 championship game the year before is incremental progress then I can't help you.
 
Harbaugh's turnaround might be the best this conference has seen.

From 1-10 to 3 straight bcs appearances just 4 years is incredible!
