Jim Mora hasn’t been a college football coach since being fired by UCLA before the end of the 2017 season.
However, he could be back on the FBS sidelines as soon as next season, per a report from Yahoo’s Pete Thamel.
Per Thamel, UConn is nearing a deal with Mora to become the new head coach of the Huskies. A contract is expected to be finalized soon:

Mora went 46-30 during his time at UCLA, going 2-2 in bowl games. However, just getting UConn to a bowl game in the near future is going to be a tough task.
The Huskies are currently 1-8 on the season, with the only win coming against FCS Yale. Can Mora return the program to respectability?
