I was really hoping that Oregon State would hire Jim Mora. I believe he was the best coach to continue what Mike Riley and Dennis Erickson once established in Corvallis - an era of respectability - something we haven't really had much of since they left. What Mora did at UCLA and UCONN is very impressive and should have carried more weight, but I think that he figured out that Scott Barnes fictitious statements about being at the Top of the PAC-12 pay scale for coaches and NIL was a bunch of poppyscott! I don't blame him for choosing Colorado State and I wish him well into the future!
