Memo to President Emmert and A.D. Turner: Fire Willingham. Hire Jim Mora. By andrewjh Section: FootballPosted on Mon Nov 26, 2007 at 12:51:02 AM EDT
Tyrone Willingham has not even lost his job yet, but starting today U-Dub Dish is endorsing Jim Mora for the next head coach of our UW Huskies. We need someone with some Husky pride who not only has heard about our tradition, but has been a part of it. You know, as much as I have grown to hate Willingham as a coach, I want to make it clear that I do think he is a good guy. But I just don't think he has the talent or the know-how to build a winning team here.
By all accounts, Jim Mora is the guy for this job. His results as a coach for the Falcons were mixed, but I do think he has what it takes to build a winning college football program. I'll layout this case in more detail later, but for now, let it suffice to say that Mora brings the character that will attract recruits, understands defense (which in my opinion is what wins games) as a former defensive back, and has proven wherever he has coached that he is a great teacher of the game. For all these reasons, I think Mora will be a successful coach if given the chance at UW. To make things even better, he is a former Husky and has great pride for our university. To me, it's a no-brainer. Hire Jim Mora.
