Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4718465, member: 71"] It is possible that Mora was not sincere when he claimed he was a) not actively looking into returning to coaching but did like the idea of coaching again and b) wanted to find a place where he would be happy spending a number of years and eventually retiring, but at the moment I don't think he'll leave abruptly just for a few dollars a a place with more football history. I do believe however that we would be foolish to believe he'll remain here no matter what just because he claimed that was his intent when he was hired. As the program improves, everything else has to also improve. I have quite a bit of confidence in DB supporting the program as best he can but I still have my doubts about the trustees (and the politicians who can have a say in how well the school is funded). I also have some concerns about the fan base and at some point I will take a few boneyarders to task about not putting in a sufficient effort to attend a stray game. One who grew up in Springdale and can make a stray visit to the area in the fall, plan on a game within the time that he is visiting friends and family comes to mind. One who lives closer to Rutgers than East Hartford but should be capable of making one trek each fall also comes to mind. I know of quite a few others and, once we start winning on a regular basis I will begin calling them out by name. If there is sufficient fan support and institutional support I doubt we'll need to worry about losing Mora and if we do, with the fan and institutional support in place he would be replaceable.
