Jim Mora Fired by UCLA Because the Bruins Didn't Want Florida to Get Chip Kelly
By Jason McIntyre
Jim Mora has been fired as head coach at UCLA, less than 24 hours after a loss to USC dropped the Bruins to 5-6 on the season. Here’s the release:
My guess as to why UCLA did it, and decided to swallow the large buyout: They don’t want Florida to get Chip Kelly before they can swing for the great coach.
It’ll cost UCLA over $12 million to buy out Mora. It’ll cost even more to hire Chip Kelly.
