Across all the coaching staff, this "hire" is the one with a good bit of upside but honestly it has the most downside by far...  Terrible defense was played under his watch.  You can talk all you want about this and that as being the reasons why and or that he is a nice and likeable guy but the fact is that if half way through next season we're still allowing 35-40 points a game it's going to get ugly within the fanbase (i.e. eye rolls, frustration, I told you so's, etc leading to sheer madness).  
 
If a defense is without confidence, bravado, and aggression then it's destined to be a failure.  So, if the players start to doubt internally, then the whole defense unravels like we've seen.

Risky hire for sure.  My vote:  pick someone else. But, I'll give Mora this one because at this point we've put our faith in him to make these decisions (and obviously AD David Benedict was hugely involved in this decision as well).  I hope I'm wrong.
