Benedict and Mora

If Mora was going to any other school, we would've heard inklings from the media that he was interested. It has been radio silent, the JM name has been missing from the carousel completely

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.

They will be a bottom dweller in “The PAC 12”.

You’re looking in the wrong places…

-> Akron’s season ended on Tuesday with a win over Bowling Green to finish with a 5-7 record, and head coach Joe Moorhead could be a name to watch at a few places. That includes the offensive coordinator job at Virginia Tech under Franklin or the UConn head job if Jim Mora leaves. Moorhead was Franklin’s OC at Penn State from 2016 to ‘17, and he was the OC on the 2010 UConn team that reached the Fiesta Bowl. Mora himself has received interest from jobs out west, like Oregon State and Stanford. <-

lol that’s what you got from it? 🤣🤣🤣

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

Even he was a finalist, he probably is just using you as leverage.

And if Stanford wants him then fuhgeddaboutit.

I've seen lots of reports about other schools being interested in him. I have not seen one report of there being mutual interest.

I'm not saying he isn't interested, he may be. But he's not wrong to say there hasn't been an inkling about him being interested in leaving

The comment was “the JM name has been missing from the carousel completely”.

Sorry, the first part of the comment mentioned him not hearing anything about JM being interested. Misread the second part and thought he meant mentions of JM being interested were completely missing from the carousel

I’m not sure why people are worried about Sammis leaving. I’ve not been blown away and without Edwards, Joe and Bell next year, we will see how good of an OC he actually is. It’s similar to how exposed Brock was this year due to the amount of talent that left and that that was why our D was so good last year, not because of him.
