A bit surprised at this. UCLA must have really stepped up.

I told you guys yesterday he ain't going anywhere.

Despite their hiccups this year, he is in the weak southern division and he has UCLA primed to make a lot of noise for a long time to come. USC's weak hire, shitty Utah, Arizona and Colorado teams. Really his only concern is ASU and this year's sun devils were a mirage. No way he trades that for a middling north team who has to face off with Oregon, Stanford and a rising Wazzu.

I would bet you he's staying for absolutely none of those reasons.

I was going to say the same thing

He just really likes it in UCLA and truly believes that he can build that program into a powerhouse.

Pretty safe to say he got a good raise and Mora would now only leave for an NFL job or maybe a Texas level job.

It's amazing to me that people think highly successful type A head coach personalities are looking for the path of least resistance. The easy way out. It's so far off from their actual mentality. If he's like 99% of all other college/NFL head coaches, his actual mentality is much closer to: "My dick is enormous. I can win anywhere."

I am hearing he is becoming the highest paid state employee in California. $3.5M per year plus a bunch of extra cash for his asst.coaches

USC, Pat Haden, and Sark deserve the thanks.

Indirectly they do. The UW coaching search directly resulted in Mora getting a raise + extension and his assistants getting raises.
