"I've been associated with the Pac-12 since it was the Pac-8 and then the Pac-10 and then the Pac-12 at all levels whether it was my dad as a coach, me as a player or me as a coach. The Pac-12 represents excellence. It always has. Now, this may be a new community of members in the Pac-12, but it's still the Pac-12 and this new community of members is going to make the Pac-12 Conference powerful once again."
"I have a relationship with Jay Norvell. Jay worked for my dad,"
"... When the program decided to move on from Jay, I was immediately interested. It renewed the interest that I had in 2019."
Jim Mora was hired as Colorado State head football coach following the midseason firing of Jay Norvell. Mora first expressed interest in the job in 2019 and cited a relationship with Norvell, whose father coached for Mora's family. Colorado State will join a reconfigured Pac-12 next summer with Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Gonzaga, Texas State, Oregon State, and Washington State. Mora emphasized Pac-12 brand recognition and his lifelong association with the conference. He inherits a 2-10 team and brings recent success at UConn and a desire to build a lasting program.
