Description

In 2012, UCLA football took a bold step by hiring Jim Mora Jr. as head coach, despite his limited college experience. Against all odds, he transformed the team, leading them to a 9-5 record and a memorable win over USC. His recruiting classes improved dramatically, and UCLA became a contender, filling the Rose Bowl with 75,000 fans. However, after a promising start, the team's performance declined, and Mora was let go in 2017. Despite the setback, Mora's tenure marked a significant turning point for UCLA football, demonstrating the impact a visionary coach can have on a program.
