Rate the Hire (Jim Mora)

[HuskyDogArt]

On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best), how would you rate the hire?

A 9...AD DB got a hire off the radar! Would give it a ten, but I want to see who JM get as assistants before I give it a 10...

Nice hire...

He put UConn on the front page of a number of sports pages for a good reason. He has a great family name and has the connections to hire the proper people to get the job done, or so is our hope as UConn fans.

Those who graded it lower don't have a clue

I don’t know about “lucky” but I do think it’s a good hire. I’d love to know who else through their hat into the ring.

I mean lucky to get him for only $1.5M. The athletic dept now has $2m plus to spend on staff.

I was a 6 when I first heard. Was hoping for a more up and coming coach who is tuned in to modern game planning. Hoping he'll hiring young coordinators that will help with this. If not, then I'm back to a 6.

However, when I heard that he wanted this job and came to DB about it, I jumped up to a 7-8. He's definitely a name coach, but he's a name coach who WANTS to coach here. He's been out of coaching but he's not someone DB called up and pulled back in. At least that's not how they are saying it so I'm buying it. Anyone that comes to DB and wants to coach this dumpster fire is an 8 in my books!
