Mora dealt with this in the NFL and the college coaches are dealing with this for the first time and some don't want to change their ways.

In the NFL players have contracts and most aren’t guarsnteed so you can cut at any time.

This is far more complicated — you’re stuck with the players during the season (no cutting) but after the season it’s a free for all for the entire roster (no contracts).

Yes, there are differences, but you have ~100 kids on a college roster so instead of being cut during the season in college, they would be buried on the depth chart. And, you can't just cut players in the NFL as you have to consider the salary cap limitations. What is similar to the NFL is that every team has a salary cap (self determined to some extent), players on other teams are scouted, players make "free agent" visits after the season, and you need a GM to manage everything.

Crazy Washington St lost their coach to Wake Forest, but the Pac-12 is a G6 conference now. So I guess going to Wake gives more stability.

Mora could be a candidate for Washington State

Mora could be a candidate for Washington State

Huh?
I don't see another G6 as attractive enough to lure him, except maybe something in Colorado or SoCal where he has lived before. And certainly not ultra boonies, Washington.

The local airport has THREE gates. Offering puddle jumpers to Seattle and Boise only. Or you can make the 90 minute drive to the "big" airport in Spokane.

I thought that Coach Mora had a place in Sun Valley Idaho. It would not be far-fetched for him to move based on that fact but I hope that isn't a factor. It is still 400 miles away from Pullman.

Why are we discussing how west coast schools are closer to his home so he might leave? I'm pretty sure he's pretty darn happy here and has no reason to leave! Let's not talk about something that is non-existent

No way a husky goes to wazzou. No way wazzou hires a husky.

Mora could be a candidate for Washington State

He probably would have taken the Idaho job if offered.

 

[ZooCougar]

How do you know that? They can only offer him proximity to his place. It’s a massive step down. He might as well stop coaching.

Whitmer is going to be a successful head coach one day.
