re: Would Jim Mora Jr. make a good college coach?

If Sarkisian takes the SC job look for him to be hired at U Dub

Supposedly Udub is his dream job. I am surprised he took the Seahawk job knowing the Udub job could be opening soon (before TY was fired and sark hired). I bet it could happen depending upon if Riley takes the job or not. Sark is proven as an oc, he hasn't exactly proven what Mike Riley has as a head coach. They both have ties to SC. Oregon states coordinators aren't exactly chumps. They have been together for sometime and have turned down other jobs to stay with Riley. They also have put the second most amount of players in the NFL behind SC in the pac ten in recent years.


eta.......I just wonder if Riley turned it down and Sark jumped, would the powers at be would want Mora now. I think with the instant success they have had since Sark was hired would they try to just steal away a big name. I know they are tired of being near the bottom. They aren't used to it and it has been very painful for them to endure. Sark leaving will be painful if he goes, I wonder if they would settle for Mora at this point.

he ran the offense of another coach

A lot of coaches have used The West Coast Offense and Callahan used it successfully after Gruden left.

and he was insistent on installing an offense that can't work in CFB

The West Coast Offense?

I dont think he was the main reason they went 5-11.

yeah i mean take that roster and put bill b as the head coach and what is their max win total? 7?

and i'm not defending mora, i'm just saying he was put in a horible situation, talent-wise

I always thought Jim Mora Jr. was much more fit for college than the pros. And I was really surprised that took that Seahawks job. I thought he'd put himself in a position to take the UDub job whenever it opened up.



BTW, I know a lot of you like Mike Riley as a coach, but he has nowhere near the dynamic personality of Carroll, and their national recruiting would eventually take a pretty big hit. Sark at USC could be scary, though. I hope he doesn't take it because 1)USC or anybody else being really good is bad for LSU, and 1) He'd be at the top of my list of potential replacements for Les whenever he finally leaves. And Sark ain't leaving USC unless he's fired or goes to the NFL himself.
