Benedict and Mora

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

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

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? I love the speculation of the coaching carousel! It's almost as entertaining as real football!

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.

Where is this money coming from? Boosters?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?
 
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…

huskymedic said:


-> 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. <-

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.
