Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5113997, member: 44"] 1) Mora is a better coach in every sense. Better Xs and Os, better judge of talent, both of players and staff, harder worker, and still had a passion to win. 2) Mora called out funding and got NIL dollars, which be allows us to compete for portal players. 3) The meltdown of college athletics as we know it, which now has de facto free agency (transfer rules plus NIL rules) Emmert completely screwed the pooch by punting on these issues but the fact of de facto free agency allows us to climb from the bottom faster than we would otherwise be able to. So some of it is circumstance but it mostly is having a competent coach who still has a passion to win. [/QUOTE]
