What was likely to have been a quiet holiday week for the UCLA Football team has instead turned into a major news extravaganza. Jim Mora being relieved of his duties as head coach with one week left in the regular season came as a huge shock to even those that were calling for his resignation.
Current and former players tweeted out thanks to Mora for all that he has done for them and many of them said they had never seen anyone with the “passion” for football that he has. Despite his faults, Mora always went to bat for his players and it seemed the common sentiment among players was that coach had their back when they needed him to.
