Mora Speaks to Courant

Dave’s trying to be the good guy and I bet it once again will bite us in the ass.

If I'm him, I'm in the room with Mora for the public address and within earshot as he says his peace to the players. And then I walk him to his office and thank him for what he did for the team while I help him gather his things and walk him through the door like at any company/business. And if Mora has a problem with it, well sorry bub, but you drew first blood.

Did you expect him to say I'm sorry? Haven't heard any departing coach say that. What should he have done differently besides not leaving.
Expand ...
No, the whole thing wreaks of self-preservation.

Listen, he owes UConn nothing. I’m old enough to understand that you get one life. Do what you makes you happy.

I don’t begrudge him. Just spare me the “I did it with HONOR and INTEGRITY, like a REAL MAN” bs.

I'd also put a poster of Saban's comments up... right behind him.... for the players to read, when he speaks...😉

That’s being too lenient. He is actively recruiting our players and commits to Colorado State. He is not a friend anymore.

I hope that DB (the only one who makes sense) has been contacting our verbal commits (at least those high on our list) to let them know it may be in their best interests to wait until we hire Mora's replacement. We can't have an assistant do this as there is no guarantee that he'll be with the program once all is said and done and the recruits will know this and view it as an insincere move on our part.
Expand ...
I believe non-coaches (including staff who are in roles like 'analyst' are not permitted to contact recruits in this manner... which would include the AD. Frankly, I'd assume that he doesn't necessarily know who/whom the "top" recruits are.

I've said elsewhere. Just wait til Sunday or Monday to announce. Say you are considering if a report comes out. Make your new school wait, if you are so important to them. They didnt get a special lean in on recruiting or the portal doing it before thxgiving, heck they had another game to play.
Expand ...
I don't think it was Mora that announced, it was almost certainly a leak (planned or otherwise) from Colorado State (who would have the motivation to leak to prevent any potential (no matter how unlikely) change of hear over the long weekend.

Mora is making offers to our players. For that reason, I would not grant him his closure or as Zoo says- he gets a 5 min zoom that is monitored. The rash of offers is not cool.

Mora wanted a new job. He was in such a hurry he skeedaddled without saying a goodbye. The timing is awkward. Well tough. The window is closed, he started offering our guys and now it's.

Go enjoy Fort Fun Jim. It's too late. They'll live without your heartfelt goodbye that should have already been done.

I tried to find an article or video or anything backing up that Saban actually said Mora would lose trust in East Coast recruits and Mora's departure embarrassing to the profession that will damage his reputation. Is that screen shot fully accurate or does it have false info in it?
It also incorrectly states our record as 8-4 .. is this some sort of AI garbage?
 
ScottVib said:
I stand corrected then.. 🙂 Interesting.... and pretty crazy it would be that blatant.
Expand ...

And then it was deleted.

And then Andy Staples from On3 tweeted Mora begging him to contact Pete Nakos.

How? You don’t think Mora knows how to reach out to any player he wants to? You think someone from the AD’s office isn’t going to be in the room making sure he doesn’t cross the line?

The only question should be whether it’s better for the players to have a chance to say goodbye. I don’t have an opinion one way or the other, but that would be how I make my determination if I were AD David Benedict.
 
Can someone explain why Lane Kiffin is a villain and Jim Mora a hero according to CFB media? They did the same thing.

Maybe he asked the captains for input?

The optics of the whole thing are bad.

But it would be worse if we blocked it, Mora should do the right thing and cancel.

If he wants to say goodbye then as you say, he knows how to reach them.

Didn’t he claim he let the players know via group chats that he was leaving?

That notification should’ve been in person to begin with. He’s already missed his chance at that.
