Recruiting pretty well and has ucla playing a ton better in one year. Recruiting according to one site is top 15. Way better than 88.

Take him in a heartbeat. Would be an excellent hire. I would want Noel Mazzone to come as well.

Would be fantastic hire but I just don't see him leaving after one year.

He would be a great hire however Mora is a West Coast guy. His entire family is out west and although he was the HC for the Falcons when he was fired he went back to the west coast.
I think if we got him it would be short lived.
I would prefer to work hard for Gruden and if that falls apart go after Mike Gundy.
Just my 2 cents.

He talked longingly of going back to the West Coast -- while he was coaching the Falcons.
I don't want him. I was never impressed. As I just posted in another thread, he treated his stars differently than the other players and thst created a rift that tore the team apart.

He has a house on the beach in SoCal. He gets to recruit Cali. He's been there one year. He loves the west coast. He is not coming to Knoxville.

That's not true. He is very interested in coaching in the South. Reports that he has expressed concerns about fans/boosters/etc. not caring as much as the do in the Southeast. I don't see him leaving after year one though...
