The Washington State football team is in the market for a new head coach after Mike Leach left for Mississippi State, and ex-Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks and UCLA head coach Jim Mora Jr. is reportedly an option.

Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated broke the news Thursday.

Mora coached UCLA from 2012 to 2017, going 46-30 overall and 29-24 in Pac-12 play. He went 26-22 with the Atlanta Falcons and led the team to the 2004 NFC Championship Game.

Mora went 5-11 during the 2009 season with Seattle.
