I liked Jim Mora. He had a couple of down years in a row, but I think they should have kept him.

I think schools are too impatient with coaches, and often fire them for the wrong reasons. Miami has killed its football program to the ground with its coaching revolving door. A similar case can be made for the bottom half of the SEC. Michigan would be crazy to even think of firing Harbaugh, no matter how ugly this season gets. They are not going to do better than him.

There is no magic formula to coaching success, but canning a coach after a single bad season is a guaranteed path to failure.

How about after 3-9, 1-11, 1-11?

Context matters. Diaco should have never been hired in the first place. He was in over his head the day he showed up.

I thought Mora was a solid coach that had a couple of down years.

To recap, having a dynamic passing game:

Pullman, Washington, an area next to the Idaho border that is five hours from the middle of nowhere, near no top recruits, where it snows and rains a lot: possible

East Hartford, Connecticut, similar climate, near better recruits: impossible, must run the ball into the line, do not ever dream of playing football in any other way for it cannot be done

Revisionist history. The board was 98% thrilled that the Broyles award winner from Notre Dame was coming to Uconn. Some even worried his stay would be short because of him needing a stepping stone job to a P5 program (although no one called them that then). He still had 80% support after year 2.

That he was borderline mentally disabled was not fully apparent until the pre-season/I don't care about winning and fishcakes interviews.
