Today’s Visit from Mora

I don't think that's a reasonable inference whatsoever.

Well, OK, what I am saying that the price of admittance has to be paid in advance. Either get good at football or buy your way in like SMU. What is you position?

Are we this small. This vindictive. He gave 5 really good years. He left on good terms it seems.

Not to let him in the building is stupid. Would show what a unprofessional outfit we are.

Give the guy a break.

4 years. FOUR. Hired November 11, 2021. That's four. Please stop saying five.
Thank you.

Not sure how many follow or followed Mora.
After he took the job, but also after he changed the profile picture, he was actively re-posting Fagnano and Skyler praises.

I get the whole Mora hate. As a fan, I’m disappointed. Hearing things he may have said also suck.
But reality is, the only ones that should be mad are the players. For some, this next bowl might be their last game. It’s not necessarily Moras fault on timing, but it screws over players that have been asked to buy into Moras plan.

UConn needs to see this hire as an investment in FB and a step in getting to P4. Just get the right guy, and let’s keep this upward trajectory

I unfollowed him

why can't we as fans be mad? we're the ones who obsess over the program day in and day out. we pay for facilities and salaries

I hope the players go out and play their hearts out and win a bowl game for the zipper. they'll prove that it was more the players and less the mora

He committed to Mora/Hilliard back in June and announced on July 4th. Not a huge surprise when kids commit to coaches and not the school. Is what it is…

something tells me Hilliard will be gone too ( maybe right after the bowl game )

I have bad news for everyone. Given our position, whenever a coach comes here and fully succeeds, he will quit for greener pastures after a few years and we will have to rebuild, or a coach won’t succeed, we fire him after 3 or 4 seasons and we have a total rebuild.

That is just our reality unless and until we are in a power conference. It would make it easier on everyone if we accept it and root for the coach who quits because he succeeded as opposed to the coach who we fire because he didn’t.

I agree with you on this. We are and most likely will always be a stepping stone job. However, a stepping stone usually goes up. This move was a step sideways. I think this is what angers me the most. I get that he wants to go to the mountains yada yada. I just feel like it’s crap that he had UConn flying and was revered here and just decided to take a lateral move out of the blue.

If we get a coach who succeeds and gets a shot at a higher prestige job, I’d totally get it. Sure I’d be upset but it is what it is. However, being left for a school that is equal to us except they have a conference, is disappointing.

Not allowing him to address the team would be absurd. They know him, they played for him. Addressing the team that he assembled and coached is not an "ad campaign" to leave. If they want to leave that's their choice. It happens anytime a coach leaves for another job. There's no ideal time for a coach to leave given the college football calendar of events.

From the article above:

“He doesn’t plan to stay in Connecticut any longer than necessary as he said he is landing back in Denver on Wednesday morning at 10:35 to “hit it and get at it,” with his new program.”
Expand ...
1 minute is longer than necessary at this point.

He knew we were losing our star QB, RB and Receiver. Next season was going to be a rebuilt anyways.

So we give a coach an audience at UConn who is flipping our commits in real time. Crazy.

I said disappointed…. You can be mad.
But it’s not as personal as it is for players. And it’s not like UConn is the only team to lose its coach or still be looking.
Many high profile P2 schools are still looking.
 
So does anyone know how today’s meeting went? Was media there- did players say anything on social media about it?

This is such a crap excuse people are giving. If he was a good coach, he wouldn’t need to worry about losing those and having a tough schedule because he had built a program that should be, and was, at a level that could compete with that schedule. Ok, we lose Bell and Joe. Huge, huge losses. However, he has shown a lot of success in the portal and could have restocked. He had the foundation already.

If part of the reason he left was because of a hard schedule and losing Joe, Bell, and maybe Cam, then I’m not sad to see him go. A good coach continues to raise the bar each season, not tuck tail and run.

I really don’t care why he left.
I wonder if there was a way he could have coached the bowl game and then left.

Was it UConn that said you’re out immediately? Was it CSU that said no, you either take this job now or we’re moving on? It seems almost every situation is handled different

This sport is so stupid in ways that it’s mind boggling.

We really can’t figure out some rules to protect the season so that teams can finish the year without worrying about losing their coach or players???

Talk about self inflicted fun shots….

I heard talk of moving the early signing period to February like it used to be. This might save the bowl games. I believe Andy Staples from On3 talked about this on Monday’s Dan Patrick show. He said that the head coaches did not like the idea

It is and will be still a G5/G6 conference, right? (You seem to implying they will get P4 status wrt the CFP.)

Didn't mean to imply that, I just think it will be a bit easier to get into the playoff. We really don't have a path. If I understand it correctly, the only way we can get into the playoff is being say top 10 and outranking ND.

I thought that the auto bid goes to the top G5 team. UConn is viewed as G5, so that is UConn's pathway as well as all the other G5's. No?
