"If all you’ve seen of Connecticut’s football season is coach Jim Mora’s rant following the Wake Forest game, you might assume Mora isn’t having any fun......But while that moment drew the most attention, it doesn’t accurately reflect how 2024 is going for Mora and the Huskies. “This has been one of the most enjoyable years of my career,” If UConn can upset Syracuse and then beat Massachusetts next week, it would win nine games for only the third time in its FBS history."
"Mora feels quite at home in unlimited transfer/NIL era because it resembles the environment he grew up in as a coach. “My background is the National Football League, which really is somewhat similar to the new structure of college football,” he said. “Your portal resembles free agency. Your draft resembles recruiting. So it doesn’t faze me one bit that there’s been this transformation in college football where money has become an issue. So I’m able to operate in this world very comfortably because I’ve been in it most of my career.”
