Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Way to go, Bruins! Hire another coach who has failed everywhere he has been but can talk a good game, thus ensuring the kind of ass-beating the Trojans laid down on you this year for years to come. Brilliant!

Wrong Mora, Moran!

Playoffs? I just hope they can win a game.

Sunny cant do diddly-poo literarily. He can't do research. He didn't write a relevant joke. He didn't TRY writing relevant jokes. He sucks

I remember Mora when he was with the 49ers, and he was AWFUL. UCLA football will continue to be a wasteland as long as that idiot is there. Poor Bruins fans, haven't they suffered enough?

They didn't check with Seattle for references, for sure.

This is the school that just fired Neuheisel.

Suddenly I don't feel quite as bad about how ASU's coaching search is going. We had a pretty close one there earlier in the week.

Why Would I Read the Article: I remember Mora when he was with the 49ers, and he was AWFUL. UCLA football will continue to be a wasteland as long as that idiot is there. Poor Bruins fans, haven't they suffered enough?

I am glad I don't remember those dark times in the 49ers history.

The Bruins are screwed, doesn't matter which Mora it is. Jr couldn't win in Seattle or Atlanta and I don't have to mention the Sr. meltdown that is a pretty darn good rant. Those days in Indy were truly horrific.

This is wonderful news...if you've ever had to suffer through Jim Mora doing color on an NFL game. Worst....color guy....EVER!!!

Just like Matt Hasselback having that horrid shrew for a wife. Life just sucks sometimes.

Because we totally gave him a fair shake after 1 year or insane amounts of injury...only to be dumped because Paul Allen wanted a complete restructuring of the management. Makes sense.

He's a players coach, he should fit right in. He was able to get some semblance of skill out of Vick for awhile before he became a walking stereotype...if it weren't for the fact that the politics and management structure down at UCLA is bad enough that 4-5 coaches already said no, I'd give him a fair shake as well. But unfortunately he's doomed down there.

I don't know if he does NFL games, but is he worse than Steve Beuerline?

As a Seahawks fan I say...


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

I can't wait for Hugh Millen to explain to everyone why Mora on UCLA is "great for the Huskies."

// Mora and Millen were college roommates. Thick as thieves, apparently.

/// Mora telling Millen he'd quit the NFL Playoffs to coach U-W, on the air, while Atlanta was choking its playoff run was what got him fired from Atlanta. He hasn't won anywhere since.

No, she is married to his brother Tim. I assume you are talking about Elisabeth Hasselback of (or formerly of, don't watch it) The View.

You can use the injuries as an excuse, but the team was poorly prepared every game. They seemed to be victims of a guy who thought "attitude" would trump game planning. Remember his revolving door at RB? And his desire to start Julius Jones at RB against Dallas because he would "be motivated"? His courtship of Houshmanzadeh? Poor leadership skills. Telling his O-Line that he wants them to be "dirtbags" doesn't help with the game planning at all.

Generation_D: I can't wait for Hugh Millen to explain to everyone why Mora on UCLA is "great for the Huskies."

It is. We get to see if he can coach in college on someone else's dime and if Sark doesn't work out we can have him anytime we want.

Pete Carroll won fairly often at USC. In the NFL, he's a mediocrity the minute he rises above defensive coordinator. Gene Stallings was a horrible NFL head coach. He won a national championship for Alabama.
 
2011-12-10 11:32:42 PM
I'm sure he'll give his first interview as new coach to Doug Gottlieb.

And Bill Walsh didn't have a winning record in college. It's not just X's and O's, it's a substantially different skill set.

Also college coaches work harder

No. UCLA can never suffer enough

Argh, screw him. He was a frontrunner to take the Eagles defensive coordinator job but he turned it down, would have been way better than what they got.

An inert stump would be better than what you got.
