USC vs UCLA football recruiting: the battle for LA

Kim has a new catchphrase for Mora that he has been pedaling around doogman. We've moved beyond "the implosion" and now the players are "tuning him out" because they know he's "using back channels" to get another job

@BallSacked, why do you think anyone that doesn't suck off UCLA is jealous? I've read posts from you trashing Oregon, yet anyone who posts anything critical about UCLA is jealous in your mind. Is someone who doesn't believe ASU will ever get to the top jealous? They have had similar levels of success.

UCLA has been consistent in winning 9-10 games each season under Mora. At the same time, they have been inconsistent week to week. They will look great one week, then sloppy the next.

Last season was up and down just like the previous two. Big wins over USC and ASU. Blowout losses to Oregon and Stanford (again). Close wins against dreckfest teams like Cal and Colorado. Maybe one day the talent can be so elite you reach the playoff. I personally doubt it. Mora is a pretty good, but flawed coach capable of leading 2nd tier teams (top 10-20). I think what has been seen so far is how it's going to be.

You are right that I would be happy with 10 wins in either of the next two seasons. I would also be concerned about the week to week inconsistency (aka discipline).

I think I admitted that there have been issues with game management and schemes. But capping the potential of a program after year 3 with the talent level Ucla is building and the coaching changes they've made I think is FS. Also #fuckyonarratives.

If I do the same in year 3 of Peterson after a 10-3 year...by all means light me up. Quooks have done the same to me on here for my hate of the ducks. It's a message board.

 
Consistently winning 10 games in LA and competing in the South year in/year out is nothing to scoff at and is worthy of a certain level of praise... But, they also leave the door wide open to criticism. UCLA is like Gonzaga BB to me... OK, you're good but either step it up and win it all or gtfo.

Winning 10 games is no big deal now.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to shit on achievement all you want to but, the fact remains, MOST teams don't win 10 games. Far fewer do it consistently. The fact this needs to be pointed out to you says quite a lot.

Not really but, he did win 12 games and achieved a #4 ranking and makes $3.5 million coaching football in a safe situation at a major school.

I do indeed respect his achievement. You don't?

Winning the Capital One Bowl to finish your magical season is always special.

Dude hasn't won the SEC since 2005.
 
maybe not, but he's still one of the most successful college football coaches in history and is rewarded as such financially and is living a dream you never will... I know, right?

What the fuck?
 
UCLA isn't little brother anymore. LA is beholden to whoever wins, and UCLA has embarrassed trojan ass the last couple of years. Mora still has a lot to prove though.
 
Until one of those two schools hires a coach that can develop the talent and manage games, they will both continue to underachieve.

UCLA has developed individual player talent very well under Mora. The weakness of the program is largely schematic and game management. I know the jealously is real with other P12 fans of the LA schools, but I think there is still upside for Mora at UCLA. More talent more depth and the program has the OL pipeline finally rolling after three years of predominantly first and second year starters on the OL.

SC is a just an average coach away from a juggernaut.

If Peterson manages a 10-3 year in either of the next two years, we know 81% of this board will be lining up to give him HJs, and won't call it underacheiving. Bias much?

We've had one ten win season since Poison was a cool band. I really hate to admit it and was on denial for a long time, but Warshington isn't really relevant and hasn't been for a long time. 10 wins is a start.
