UCLA fired head football coach Jim Mora on Sunday, one day after a 28-23 loss to rival USC dropped the Bruins' record to 5-6, including a 3-5 mark in Pac-12 play.
Athletic director Dan Guerrero announced the decision and said offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch would take over the program on an interim basis for the rest of the 2017 season.
Mora, 56, went 46-30 in six seasons at UCLA. After posting four winning records and two Top 25 finishes in his first four years, Mora struggled to put a competent team on the field the past two seasons.
