“I’ve made a lot of mistakes and he’s always been by my side.” These are the words Josh Rosen used in reaction to head coach Jim Mora’s firing after Saturday’s loss. Mora’s close relationship with Rosen and other players, including his willingness to defend his players in the face of controversy has been one of Mora’s saving graces. “He impacted people beyond sports,” Rosen said. “He’s an incredible person, an incredible coach, and we’ll definitely miss him.”
Other players echoed Rosen’s sentiments. “He loves all of us and it’s hard to see him go,” stated offensive lineman Scott Quessenberry.
