UConn Extends Head Coach Jim Mora's Contract Through 2028

The extension follows a successful 8-4 season and marks Mora's continued efforts to rebuild the football program.

Jim Mora has signed a two-year contract extension with UConn, keeping him as head coach through December 2028.
The new deal raises Mora's salary to an average of $2.5 million annually, with performance-based incentives and retention bonuses included.
Mora has led UConn to two bowl games in three years, including the upcoming Fenway Bowl against North Carolina, following an 8-4 regular season in 2024.
Athletic Director David Benedict praised Mora's leadership, citing significant progress in revitalizing the program, including its first winning season since 2010.
Mora emphasized the program's growth but acknowledged the need to start competing with and defeating Power 4 teams to further elevate UConn's football standing.
