I don’t know if I’ve ever been as excited for a coach as I am for Coach Mora.

We were really cheated with Edsall..Mora seems to be the whole package. My wife thought he was 40..

You mean to tell me Pasqualoni didn't do it for ya?

Nope and I wasn’t as big a fan of the idiot Diaco’s patter as a lot of people were

He’s off to a fantastic start- certainly seems hungry and eager to prove he belongs.

He says he’s a hard ass with empathy … hmmm, that’s a change from hard ass who always said it’s you, not me.

As Mora says "work is work". I agree with others that he seems much younger than 59. Here is a link on his journey to Mt. Kilimanjaro which he completed in 2017.

Here is a snippet. He appears to be in great shape and probably in better shape than many on the team.

Hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro wasn’t the first time Mora has climbed a mountain. In 2009, he and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell climbed Mount Rainier and raised a hundreds of thousands of dollars for the United Way.

“Jim’s in incredible shape,” Boyer said. “As far as the readings (in terms of oxygen saturation and resting heart rate) go, he was in the best shape of all of us.”

When Mora speaks you can hear the excitement the energy and the passion for coaching. That interview gives great insight to how he will approach revamping the culture and the team.

Never heard this from Pasqualoni, Diaco or Edsel.
