How UConn Lured Jim Mora on Back into Coaching | The Rich Eisen Show

[RedStickHusky]

Ideally, sufficient success for loyal UConn football supporters and bandwagoners alike requiring "Mora" stadium (said in old Italian's accent).

At least the expansion would be "a mora stadium".

Sometimes being the worst _____ brings its own notariety. While a basketball brand, UConn is a national brand. Guy was HC in the Superbowl. This is news, like man bites dog news.
Good get!

I would be more impressed by Mr. Mora's hire if he had not been fired from every head coaching position he has held.

I wish UConn had hired a hungry young coach rather than the 60 year old millionaire they did.

The hungry young coach is his replacement… after a few good years.

Home run hire… all we ask are 6 win seasons , full Rent, and some bowl games. Let’s go!!!!

I would prefer Jim Mora Stadium in Storrs, CT

Well, I wanted to marry Farrah Fawcett. That also had zero chance of happening.

So you were my competition.

When in the coach that you’ve got,
Gives you credibility on the spot,
Thatsa Mora…

Every time I hear him speak, I get more excited/impressed. Great hire!

Guy grows on you. Authentic dude who is legitimately ready to get after it. Whole key is get some early momentum he can build on.

Our fanbase is going to need to adjust to a head coach with a personality (at least one that isn't somewhat disconnected to reality). We've never had that since we moved up to this level.

He know X's and O's
And the Jimmies and Joes
And Medi-a

'Scuza me
But you see
Back to winning we'll be
That's a Mora

'Scuza me

Back to winning we'll be
That's a Mora

... and for the UConn fans I left back in Rio:

Sabe X's e O's
Sabe Jimmies e Jos
e medi-a

Desculpe-me
Mais olhar
Vai de novo ganhar
e a Mora

And seems to actually enjoy dealing with the media and fans...as opposed to treating them like a nuisance.
