UConn signs coach Jim Mora to contract extension through 2028

Associated Press  

BOSTON — UConn coach Jim Mora agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2028, the school announced Saturday right before kickoff of the Huskies’ Fenway Bowl game against North Carolina. Mora will earn $10.01 million plus incentives over the next four years, the school said before UConn beat the Tar Heels 27-14 to reach nine wins for the first time since 2007. After the game, Mora thanked the administration for it support but said, pointing to his players, “It’s about these guys and what they did today.” The Huskies were playing in their second bowl game in three seasons under Mora, bouncing back from last year’s 3-9 record to post their first winning season since Randy Edsall took them to the Fiesta Bowl in 2010. “Three years ago, I tasked Jim Mora with the challenge of leading our football team back to success and through his experience, energy and leadership he has done just that,” athletic director David Benedict said.
