Stop the Mora clamoring

Mora recruited well and had the best UCLA teams of this millennium. They could never get over the edge and beat the best teams though - Oregon and Stanford. He also needed high level talent to do that.
He inherited Rick's guys, most notably, Brett Hundley. Hundley was to start his freshman year, got injured during summer, and missed Rick's last season.
Rick still made the first P12 championship game, getting plungered by my Ducks at Autzen Auditorium.
But the next 2-3 seasons under Mora were mostly a result of Rick's guys. T he evidence is the giant drop-off by year 4, once Mora had his guys in there.
It's a bullshit narrative that Mora did anything special at UCLA that wasn't largely gifted to him.

Like Deboer?

like Myles Jack? Jesus dude. UW recruited against Mora so get fuck out of here with that bull shit.
“Jim Mora's recruiting classes at UCLA 
showed initial success, with a consensus No. 12-ranked class in 2012 after his hiring and a No. 11-ranked class in 2013, which was the highest in two decades at the time”

The 4-8 team he got from Lake?

The players he got from Pete. The Lake years didn't happen they were merely a mirage
 
He brought the key players
And he knew what to do with the rest
The players Pete couldn't win with and quit
I wonder why I think doogs in the AD didn't know if DeBoer was any good and let him walk
And I remember those of you who were there trying to sell it

A seven win improvement is pretty great, no doubt. A close second would be Sarks taking a talentless 0-12 team and winning 5 his first season. Just amazing! How did he do it?

Had to do it Race. It was all teed up.
 
11 is a lot better than 5
I'm giving you a F but I understand the need to cope
UW fucked up bad and look at all the fun we're having now

Fautanu, Rosengarden, Trice, ZTF, McMillan, Odunze, Tuli were key players that Pete recruited
I remember them being pretty good
 
UCLA fans would give their left nut that they probably don't even have to get Mora back. He got fired because he resented his bosses to the point where their egos couldn't suffer him anymore. Even though he was right about their commitment to football.
Dude has only been given opportunities at fucking basketball schools.
 
Folks failing at their alma mater data has a lot of correlation but not necessarily causation.
I'm only in the Mora camp specifically because of what he's doing at a literal dumpster fire of college football (UConn).

His ties to UW are somewhat immaterial to me honestly. It's one of the things that puts him on our radar, but for me it's only because UW might be an actual destination job for him.
"What we need is a coach that cares more about the program than we (fans) do." - @Joey

Amen 🙌
Whether Judd is here one more year (or more!) or not, I doubt some of us will ever consider him a great fit. It just has never felt right to me from the get go.
Yeah, that's what I thought too. I had a hard time imagining him being here long. I thought DB would be here for a while.
Part of that for me was my first impression of him when he was O coordinator at Miami for 5 minutes. Unimpressed and when he left it was like nobody even noticed and it wasn't written about that much. People didn't hate him or like him. He was like the guy who comes to your party and you can't remember who the fuck he is.
He's not terrible, he's not bad … he's kind good / decent at some things. That's about it.
 
If by some miracle UCLA hired Fisch which I believe is still a possibly.
I’m so down in the dumps with the direction of college football and UW coaching prospects that Mora might actually bring a little excitement for me as a fan. I’d definitely swap him for Fisch.

Not comparing Mora to Pete Carrol but he was considered an average coach once he was fired by New England and went the college route to rebuild his coaching philosophy. I imagine Mora is much more mature and gotten his season legs and I'd be super cool taking a flyer on Jim because I have no confidence the AD will get someone like Cigarette Light.

Retreads are not the way. When was the last time it worked? Look at the trajectory of Boner, Elko, Cignetti, Kirby Moore, Brent Key, etc. The Lane Train/Sark bumble around and fail upwards into a top 10 progrum isn't going to happen at UW. And UW isn't going to be able to hire away Rhett Lashlee or Brian Brohm. It has to be a lower tier dude who comes up.
Kenny Dillingham isn't leaving ASU for UW. Think about that. Brian Brohm is re-upping with Louisville instead of putting his name in the ring for LSU and Florida and Penn State.
ORgon Only winz because monies! nah, they lucked into a HOME RUN hire of a guy who'd been a DC for a year at Georgia.
It has to be an Eck/Sumrall/Morris. And this is all masturbation in the bad way, Fisch will be at UW for at least 2 more years, unless he grabs someone by the facemask or buys a scratch-off ticket at the gas station.
Look at the NFL, Pederson and McCarthy, natty winners, FIRED. Pete Carroll? Disaster in LV.
If you're UNC basketball you take Roy Williams from Kansas. If you're Kansas basketball and you lose Roy Williams to UNC, you take Bill Self from Illinois. Neither UW nor Oregon, nor Penn State can do that. You've gotta find Dana Altman. Who should be fired, but I digress.

Didn’t Rick make the championship game because USC was on probation.
