Thoughts on Jim Mora ex-UCLA coach?

[DAWG61]

Howland worked with him for two years so he could probably help the communication. He did really well at UCLA for four years going 37-16 and then had two down years that they fired him for. Washington and Texas tried to poach him from UCLA after his initial couple of years. UCLA fires people too quickly. We all know that. Chip Kelly can't hold Mora's jock at UCLA right now.

This post is at least 13 month too early. I understand the frustration, but we might as well strap in. He’s our guy for the time being.

Totally agree we have minimum two years with Moorhead but I'm curious if other posters have any knowledge/thoughts on Mora. Seems like the Howland and Adidas connection could potentially be an avenue to help us down the road again.

Folks at UCLA couldn't wait to see him go. It started off well, maybe a little too well.

Nah. Hard Pass!

Adidas connection doesn't carry much weight on hiring football coaches. It sure didn't on our last hire.
