UConn Head Coach Jim Mora’s Background
Mora, son of former Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints coach Jim Mora, has an extensive history in coaching.
While at UCLA, he helped the Bruins win the Pac-12 South in 2012. They were ranked in the top 10 in the country in both 2014 and 2015. They were also triumphant in the 2013 Sun Bowl and the 2014 Alamo Bowl.
Mora began his coaching career at his alma mater, Washington, as a graduate assistant in 1984. He then worked under Don Coryell with the Chargers as a quality control coach and then worked his way up to the position of defensive backs coach.
He then worked for his father with the Saints as a secondary coach from 1992-96. In his first two years there, the Saints had the best passing defense in the NFL.
His next stop was the San Francisco 49ers where he was a secondary coach (1997-98) and a defensive coordinator (1999-2003). The 49ers were in the top five in several statistical categories at different points during his tenure there.
He then became a head coach for the first time with the Atlanta Falcons from 2004-06. In his first season there, the Falcons won the NFC South and reached the NFC Championship.
He was the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator for two years after that before replacing Mike Holmgren as Seattle’s head coach for one year in 2009.
