发帖数: 1210 | 1 The University of Texas has expressed strong interest in UCLA coach Jim Mora
as a possible replacement for Mack Brown, and the school and
representatives of Mora have had conversations as recently as Thursday,
sources told ESPN Insider Adam Schefter.
Mora previously coached in the NFL, most recently as head coach in Seattle
and Atlanta.
He is 18-8 at UCLA.
Monday night's Valero Alamo Bowl was Brown's final game at Texas after 16
years. He's resigning after a rocky final season in which Texas lost at
least four games for the fourth consecutive year.
New Texas athletic director Steve Patterson said last week he expects a
successor to Brown will be found within two weeks.
Patterson said before kickoff at the Alamo Bowl that he believes Texas needs
a new coach by Jan. 15. That's the end of the so-called "dead period'' in
the NCAA that prohibits coaches from in-person contact with recruits during
bowl season.
Patterson said coaches "are certainly expressing their interest'' in the job
but wouldn't discuss any potential candidates.
