Jim Mora, Jr. in talks with Washington

Sounds like this is heating up.

At UW, word working its way through the coaches tonight is that Woodward is meeting with Jim Mora. Expect a yes or no soon (prob tomorrow)

Other implications: Franklin to UCLA?, who does UCLA steal if this happens, etc.

Forgot to include this: he's from Seattle, graduated from UW, once claimed he'd leave an NFL job for UW head coaching position.

More is getting ready to get paid by somebody.

He's done a great job with UCLA. Seems like a lateral move if he takes it.

As noted by several outlets, though, it's hard to keep momentum rolling there. Also, their AD is one of the most incompetent people in sports

Also just saw this potential sequence on Twitter: Mora to UW, Franklin to UCLA, Orgeron to Vandy

I could see Clemson's OC at Vandy but not coach o

This. Salary bump, that is all.

If Mora falls through, it's likely UW hires Fresno State's Tim DeRuyter

 

[velovol]

if udub can get alum Mora, that might be a step up. You prolly get better security than you had with Sark, he has more HC exp, and he has been recruiting Cal/SoCal the past 2 seasons.
You are just going to have to pay him.

Sark to USC;
Mora to UW;
Oregeron as HC and Kiffin as OC at UCLA, thereby bringing hatred in the crosstown rivalry to Hutu/Tutsi proportions.

Lol but your Rwandan civil war joke probably went over the heads of most posters.

 

[Zetter]

Mora turns down USC job so USC opens up Mora's dream job. If Mora goes to WA Hayden is brilliant.

Was it wrong to laugh at it? :whistling:

 

[BartW]

I would be happy with Jim Mora

 

[Aesius]

Franklin to UCLA definitely seems like a possibility.

 

[bam15]

Guerrero would be a fool not to promote Mazzone if Mora jumped ship.

 

[BIG BOI 23]

i dont see why he wouldnt stand his ground in LA and try to go toe to toe with the new USC staff

all the talent on the west coast is in cali why leave LA for wash?

Dream job, Washington is historically pretty good at football, etc.

Obligatory Franklin to Fresno St? Since anytime there's a possible job opening everyone on here says Franklin will go there! Lol

 

[BigSteve09]

Just signed a 6 year extension and promised to compete for championships

 

[Zetter]

Got to appreciate the loyalty.

 

[govols120]

They'll now turn to DeRuyter. If he says no...?

 

[volstopfan14]

Guerrero would be a fool not to promote Mazzone if Mora jumped ship.

It's kind of surprising to me that Mazzone has never got a head coaching job. He's a very good offensive mind.

Mora is staying. The reason he was linked to UW is because that is his alma mater. Have seen several question why he would move. This would be why.

Nevermind, just read the rest of the thread.

The Scoop

The reason Jim Mora, Jr showed interest in the Washington job was because Jimmy Sexton is his agent. Sexton is a master at using leverage to get his clients more money.
