Is Jim Mora the biggest clown in CFB?

[IrishLax]

Anyone following this 40 time bullshit? It's absolutely hilarious. He's like a Lane Kiffin 2.0 or something... just pathetic to witness.

Details please.

Also, the difference between Kiffin and Mora is that Mora, while being a complete asshat, has more of a personality and has backed it up with some pretty good coaching so far.

Growing up in a UCLA family, it sucks to watch this guy continually being bad attention upon himself and the program.

(Of course, as long as he keeps beating USC, I'll give him a TINY bit of leeway...)

This is the general gist... he's saying his players ran basically impossible times at pro day. And then saying they're "electronic" and pontificating about how legit they are and blah blah blah

Seems like he used the infamous hand-start, auto-finish timing system which gives the fastest times possible of any typically used timing system. Especially if your guy is a little slow on the trigger finger...

Seems simple enough to shoot down. What are the players and what'd they run at the combine? I assume at the very least Barr was there.

"So you're players are absolute freak athletes... where's your Rose Bowl Trophy Coach?"

 

[West Coast Domer]

No because he is beating up on SC. Totally different than Lane. Those times might be off but he is just promoting his players.

Barr was magically a fifth of a second faster at the pro-day. Difference between good linebacker speed... and faster than the vast majority of WRs. It's a total joke and a fraud.

I don't buy "promoting" players throw dishonest shams like this.

^^This.

I have a very good friend that is a strength coach at a University up north. He did his graduate assistant program down at Baylor a few years back when RGIII was there. Before the combine I got in an argument with him because he said that Lache Seastrunk would run between a 4.25 and a 4.35 because he has "personally" seen him clock those times.

I told him there is no way I believe that Lache Seastrunk is one of the top 1% if college football players in terms of speed. We made a wager, Lache ran a 4.51 or something at the combine, and I won.

He stated that at Baylor they hand start time, with electronic finish. Sounds biased to me...

When Kiffin left LA, there was this giant sucking sound of asshatness that was left behind - Mora figured he might as well be the one to fill that void(fast 40 times, sick family members, etc). He has a long way to get the likes of Urban Liar or Kiffin, but you cant fault a guy for trying. you gotta start somewhere

 

[ACamp1900]

I am full aware of how it has hurt us here and there.... but I would much rather have asshat A.) ruling UCLA than asshat B.) ruling USC... assuming both win long term.

I agree with this. But I think time will tell if there is another asshat ruling USC.

Que the "why not both?" picture.

It's just a matter of time before stuff catches up to him and he'll walk back to the NFL.

Jack Wang is one of the worst names I've ever heard.

Jack Wang is one of the worst names I've ever heard.

I went to school with a kid named Jack Goff.

...or is it the most awesome?

 

[Fbolt]

I hear Mora's been laughing at ND for a few years now.

 

[irishroo]

I don't get why this is a big deal. How is it any different than bumping guys up an inch and 10-15 pounds on the roster, which 90% of coaches do. It's not like scouts and talent evaluators go off these times, they all time the 40s with their own watches anyways.

Because he's an insufferable douche.

 

[Luckylucci]

Mora is a joke. Further shows what he's about. Lying and cheating.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Don't really care. I think you all are making a big deal out of nothing. We are still a little butt hurt from the EV move.

Why? He hasn't done much at UCLA other than get his ass kicked by basically every PAC 12 North team.

That is some masterful pot stirring right there. Pot full o' trouble. Good show.

One of these is bad enough. Two of these?

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Mora will do the same thing he has done everywhere else. He will wear out his welcome and the public will turn againist him. Then the players will see through his BS. He is not a true leader.

Nobody spook TPI. If he see's his shadow, he'll crawl away and we'll have another month without him posting.

Ha. That is much I hate Mora.
