Jim Mora...once a mutt, always a mutt. Classless POS....

So the theory is that Mora was pissed that Snyder called a timeout and then had his kid take a shot at Hundley when he was taking a knee to runout the clock.
Mora should have handled it better but the K State player should have understood the situation better and not taken the shot IMO.
Mora will come out looking like the loser in this case.

Since when did playing hard for 60 minutes become so taboo? This epitomizes the sense of entitlement that has become so prevelent with today's college and pro athletes and coaches. Come on man, I'm beating you, just give up.
Frickin BS. I've got no problem with what K-State did, and wouldn't have a problem with it if they were playing WSU.
Jim Mora is a frickin crybaby. So much for UCLA not being soft. What a joke.

He did, he said "What the FXXX?" per a Kansas State player who overheard Mora. Pretty classless considering his team won. I remember us winning a game in Seattle because of a fumbled exchange when the opposing team was running out the clock. You play 60 minutes.
I remember when WSU annihilated Idaho, Leach told Petting to "F*ck Off" at mid field and all the 'sportsmen' here, cheered.
One of the main reasons that several LA sportswriters don't expect Mora to jump to the NFL any time soon is his deserved reputation for not being able to keep his anger under control. The clip with Bill Snider is just one example; he is that way with his players, assistants, boosters, sports writers, etc, as well. The theory is that you can get away with that at the college level more easily than when you are trying to coach adults.
Mora is very talented and was a good coach for a program that has suffered from a perennially soft culture. A dose of Mora is exactly what those guys needed. By now, though, most recognize that he has never fully matured, and for those that have a problem with that, Mora's welcome is wearing thin. If he should have a down season or two, things will get interesting.
Next year will be a lab experiment to see how well a PAC team can do with virtually everybody coming back from a pretty decent team except the QB. There is no experienced QB in the wings. The conventional wisdom has always been that you can't win the PAC without an experienced QB. And I can tell you that the boosters and administration look at who is coming back next year, and they expect to win the league.
Mora will be in a bigger spotlight this year than the last couple. If he drubs Sark he will be OK even if UCLA doesn't win the league. But I'm not sure how well the Bruins will do with a rookie QB. I guess we'll find out.

Excellent post Cr8zy. It will be fun to watch how everything plays out in the south next year. Is young Neuheisel viewed as a possible replacement? He had a pretty good game this year.
If Neuheisel Jr starts for UCLA, it will be a sign that their other QB recruiting efforts have failed. He is a pretty "football smart" kid, and good insurance to have on the sideline, but he is not particularly gifted from an athletic standpoint.
Seems consistent from my point of view. In the UI game Petrino didn't like that WSU played until the end to preserve the shutout and in the handshake Petrino voiced his feelings to Leach the same way Mora did to Snyder. While Snyder didn't voice back I am pretty sure nobody here would have had a problem with it if he did react to Mora.
If your basketball team is down by 20, do you still foul inside of 30 seconds because there is still time on the clock?
Sometimes, the game is over before it hits all zeroes.
Greg Schiano got a ton of heat at Rutgers when he'd coach his guys to bull rush the victory formation. Never once did it cause a turnover. All it does is create the potential for poor sportsmanship in response, by players on the field.
Maybe you do. Guess it's up to the coach who's losing. My take on that by comparison would be that the winning coach shouldn't have an issue with it, and his team should keep playing hard too.
There might only be a few coaches who play it out this way, but just because you wouldn't do that doesn't mean you are right. In sports as long as there is time on the clock, both teams have the right to play hard till the last whistle. I'm not sure how that can be disagreed with, especially for anyone who's ever played sports.
K state players weren't trying to hurt anyone. I think mora comes across in this looking like a complete P($$y.

Since you're such a smart guy, you probably realize there's no inconsistency in doing so. Petrino almost certainly was complaining to Leach about Leach playing all 60 minutes and going for the shutout. Leach responded in the manner we all saw.
Lastest rumors are the 49ers and Jets are talking to Mora, I'd love to see him go to the 49ers, it would give me more reasons to dislike them.
Here is a little story about Mora and his DC getting into it during a game, I would say Jim Mora has anger management issues:

Hey, if he goes anywhere, that's fine with me. Giving Mora the New York stage might be worth more than him being with Santa Clara, but I bet he can sell Seahawks destruction in a 49er interview better than anyone else- do that, kiss Baalke and York's asses a little during the sitdown... almost guarantee at least a second interview. And, hey, UCLA recruits.
