Benedict and Mora

[jskwrite]

Bray didn’t need nor want more $$ he took a pay cut. You clearly have 0 clue.

Our NIL is much larger football wise. Lol you actually think UConn is better job than OSU. Oh my word.

Oregon State is us when the Big East broke apart without basketball. They are nothing without a power conference around them. Like us, they have to win 11 or 12 games to get a playoff spot. I already see the mistakes they are making that UConn made "We were in a power conference" - no one cares - everyone is in this for themselves - when they start losing consecutive years to whatever Texas school is in that league, it's on them. They played 5 P4 games this year and lost 4 by multiple touchdowns. They play Texas Tech at home next year but then don't have another Power 4 conference team coming in to Corvallis until 2031. They are a Diaco hire away from being a complete joke. And the American is better than the new PAC so they aren't even in the best G5 conference.

As far as the comparison with UConn, they have a much better stadium situation, pretty similar training facilities and currently better NIL but not by much and that's going to fade away quickly. The Civil War is over for now; they can't play in 2026, so they lost that big rivalry advantage they had over UConn although it may return in the future. They have a much more difficult area to recruit (Oregon is now going to get everyone they want there and Washington is right near by, the California recruits at the 3 star level might like the more "local" conference). UConn is in conference limbo until at least 2029 but they also have back-to-back 9 win seasons. When Oregon State goes 5-7 next year in the new Pac 12 - they are just a G5 team that didn't make a bowl. No one cares that they used to be a power conference team, just like UConn and USF. Oregon State also doesn't have the brand of UConn in all sports. That's not debatable. Yeah, they have a great baseball program, a sport where Coastal Carolina has also recently won a title just two years before Oregon State. UConn has won Men's and Women's basketball and Field Hockey since then. UConn is also in a part of the country where all the other football teams are bad and they don't have a juggernaut Oregon team right up the road that won't even play them.

Called it.

He’s an Oregon State troll. UMass West.

UConn is fully funding revenue share by the way. Talk about clueless.

 

[ZooCougar]

Also if mora was paid more and given more why would he interview

Sounds like you couldn’t afford Mora.

 

[ZooCougar]

Why do people keep listing Chesney. I think we missed our opportunity with him when he was at Holy Cross.

Seriously? They might make the playoffs.

OSU has worlds better facilities and money in football than UConn. I wouldn’t say that

Lmao. What are you smoking? Their facilities aren't even close to "worlds better." You can actually say they are "on par" with UConn's. We have incredible facilities, and the only people who don't seem to know this are the casuals who assume we have trash facilities because we are a "G" team. Have you even seen our facilities?

Where is all this money in football coming from? The incredible new Pac media deal? Lol. We have funded the football program well for the past 2 seasons with plans to keep increasing funding. OSU will not have substantially more money for roster building, if any more money at all.

 

[Waquoit]

The question shouldn't be about mora leaving but what he does about coordinators. Will he be able to keep Sammis? Will someone get promoted if Sam is gets poached? Will he hire someone new?

Jim's got this.

 

[JwittersPAC]

People think he would take the UConn head Coaching job. He will get a P4 job.

Don't think he was saying he's more appealing if Mora leaves. Think he was saying he's more appealing to the P4 programs with openings and we shouldn't be worried about losing Jim.

I know there are people saying we should go after Chesney (and I'm in agreement with you it wouldn't happen) but that wasn't how I read his comment

 

[Chin Diesel]

I said football needs $7 million more per year for football.

$1.5m for Mora
$1 m more for O and D coordinator ($500k each).
$1m more for rest of coaches
$3.5m more for players.

And coordinator pay is regardless of keeping Brock or finding a new D coordinator.

Coordinators need to be paid between $800k-$1m. Might not keep Sammis or Brock but gives you some great options at that pay range.

Yall have more money per your friends but that’s your spending 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thats cute

SURE. When you guys spend $1.5m for a QB lemme know

lol that’s what you got from it? 🤣🤣🤣

He’s literally a finalist. He’s OSU bound if we want him

 

[Nameless]

I haven't even read or heard anything about him interviewing anywhere outside of the comment from this obvious troll.

Smells of BS to me. Doubt Mora finishes the season and immediately looks to interview. With the way he preaches preparation and commitment to the team, he's not turning his back on them the day after the season ends to go interview with Oregon State, lmao.

If he interviews anywhere it will be with a Stanford caliber of program and probably not for another week. Our season may be over but most teams haven't finished yet.

I think Stanford will try to fill the role prior to the Portal Transfer opening and high school seniors signing day.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I've said this many times before, but I'll never understand either a rebuilding program hiring a 64 year-old coach for a rebuild, or a 64 year-old coach wanting to take on a rebuild. We got very lucky with a 60 year-old looking to get back in the game and he's done a tremendous job.

According to reports, it sounds like Stanford has an idea of who will be their next head coach and it could be announced by next Sunday. Keep our fingers crossed.

Why are you bragging about spending your entire NIL budget on 1 player? There's a reason you are 2-9

Whether Mora actually interviews or not - Canzano is reporting that interviews are expected to happen this week.

OSU's football facility is 100k ft2. UConn's is 165k ft2. Oregon St.'s football stadium holds 35k. UConn's football stadium holds 40k. Highest attended game at Oregon St. this year was 32.9k. Highest attended game at UConn this year was 38.9k.

Thanks. I did just read that myself after posting the other comment. Still don't see him leaving for Oregon State, just a leverage move to get a better contract here.

Was looking at their stadium and saw their all time high for attendance was 47k, but current capacity is 35k. Did they reduce capacity after the Pac disbanded or something?

Richard Kent is clueless on UConn
