Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

Does anyone know who left that created these openings?

I love the mora hire and what it has done in terms of a shot in the arm. But are we really suggesting that anyone could’ve gone to bama and won 6 nattys and countless SEC championships? And if the argument is that he had unlimited funding (and he does), see Texas, fsu, Miami, Nebraska and countless other programs who throw money at problems thinking it’ll fix everything.

Again, couldn’t be happier to see smiling Jim leading us back. Let’s focus on a return to a relevance and not get caught up in delusions of grandeur.

Might take a few years, but with respect to grandeur, if Mora can recruit even half as good as Saban did up to winning his first NC, then I firmly believe Boston College will be playing 2nd fiddle in New England.

I don't even think he needs to recruit THAT good to be make BC look bad. All Mora has to do is put a competitive team on the field consistently and we can pretty much out recruit BC because of how bad BC is.

We have to be better than BC. We have to beat BC on the field for that to happen.

I am so close on this!

Bachelors degree? Check

Experience playing or working for a D1 football program? Well, no, but I read the football board on The Boneyard, so that’s pretty much the same thing.

Strong commitment to the academic goals of the University? You betcha!

Excellent organizational, communication and public relations skills? Check, check, check.

Lets audit your boneyard activity for PR matters. 88k+ posts of good PR? :)
 
CL82 said:
No, that would be 88,000 likes of good PR. Just saying.

The most important question should be "how many games have you attended at the Rent?".

Any of your kids or grandkids ranked #1 in an upcoming recruiting class?

You forgot ‘knowledge of correct application of NCAA regulations ’. Answer. “The NCAA has regulations?’ Mora. “We got our guy”

They definitely out recruited UConn in state, under Edsall, Disco and PP. They got that big all everything defensive lineman from New Canaan, and the kid from New London, and a couple others. Sorry, can’t remember their names right now.

New Canaan was Zach Allen and New London was AJ Dillon, though Dillon went to Lawrence Academy in Mass and was originally committed to Michigan. If my memory is correct, Dillon only went to NLHS his freshman year of high school.

Don’t forget the two kids from Fairfield Prep too. Palazollo and can’t remember the other kids name. Also Backe from Fairfield. These kids wouldn’t of played for Edsall or Disco in a million years, although I seem to recall Allen or Dillon taking an unofficial to Storrs.

Dillon’s roots are in New London, his family still lives there, and IIRC he was born there.

-> Naturally, FootballScoop is going even deeper with its second-ever “FootballScoop Minority Watch List/Rising Stars” publication.

With input from double-digit NFL coaches and scouts, more than 100 college coaches and staffers, as well as myriad other figures in football, not to mention devoted wives and family members, journalists, our staff here at FootballScoop and a panel of experts who helped vet candidates and wade through the both difficult and incredibly rewarding selection process, FootballScoop presents its 2022 Minority Watch List/Rising Stars compilation…

…The list is not perfect; there will be some who could easily have been included, and perhaps some worthy who for whatever reason did not get nominated. Nonetheless, it’s an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the brilliant minority coaches, either establishing themselves already as rising stars on the sidelines, or those still climbing with much left in front of them. <-

Barthel, E.J. - UCONN, Running Backs Coach
Touted as a great recruiter, fast riser

Diabate, Siriki - UCONN, LB coach
Nominated by NFL staffer, good personal details, also been at MTSU, Notre Dame, other key stops

Grace, Mickey – UCONN, Offensive Analyst
Among the growing number of females bursting throughout the football coaching ranks, Grace is praised for her knowledge of the game and determined approach to growing her knowledge.
 
Coach Diabate certainly has some talent to work with this year. This is a strong area on our roster. Love Carter and Brewton at RB so Coach Barthel must be excited to get going and Mickey will be helping it all get to another level on offense. Congrats to all for being recognized.

Part of me likes that he's being recognized, but reality is I wish he would remain our undiscovered gem.

Yeah it's bitter sweet, but if he turns the offense around and we get a solid 2-3 years from him before he gets a HC offer, I think that we will be in an infinitely better place than we were when he came in. If the offense looks anything like Dunn where it actually was able to score and move the ball then this team is going places.
 
The last time we had a "rising star" as our offensive coordinator (Joe Moorhead) we had our best three year stretch as a D1 team.

Shane Day also did very well in his brief stint as offensive coordinator (currently QB coach and passing coordinator for the high flying Chargers)

In all fairness...our last rising star offensive coordinator was Rhett Lashlee. And actually Dunn after him did well for himself. He was hired away to be the Jets TE coach. Unfortunately for him, Adam Gase was the head coach.

But...I would say Lashlee was the last rising star OC...and that didn't go well.
