Message: [QUOTE="BugsyCT, post: 4421255, member: 49"] I think Mora's realistic enough about the situation with the program and what he was getting himself into when he and Benedict were in discussions before the hire. He took the job because he wanted a challenge but also saw potential to make UConn football at least on par with UConn basketball's status. He's got lofty expectations because he's had much larger-profile jobs than this. That doesn't necessarily mean he's leaving anytime soon if his goals aren't met quickly (which is what all the hand-wringing in this thread has been about). He's not wrong about anything he's said about what it would take to get UConn Football to a big-time level. We don't want to settle for .500 seasons at best either. It's just a matter of whether there's enough interest in CT to do that....and enough $$$. In the meantime let's keep doing our part to support the program. [/QUOTE]
