UConn has officially announced the hiring of Jim Mora to be its next head football coach. Mora was most recently the head coach at UCLA, where he had a 46-30 record in six seasons with four bowl appearances, but his last year there was 2017. Since then, Mora has been working as an analyst for ESPN.
Mora will join the coaching staff immediately as an assistant, where he can get acclimated to the team and help with recruiting, before assuming the duties of head coach on November 28. He will be the 32nd head coach in the school’s history.
