Just last week UCLA’s Athletic Director Dan Guerrero announced football Head Coach Jim Mora had been given a two-year extension on his contract. This means that, all things being equal, Mora will be leading the UCLA Football team through the 2021 season.
The move by UCLA does not really come as a surprise. Prior to Mora, UCLA was mostly known as a basketball school as the football program was constantly overshadowed by the dominance of its crosstown rival, especially in the decade prior to Mora’s arrival.
It also did not help that the team just did not know how to win.
