The Jim Mora era at Colorado State is officially underway.
After arriving in Fort Collins Sunday night, the 25th head coach of CSU football was introduced at a press conference Monday afternoon at Canvas Stadium. Mora’s hiring was announced Nov. 26.
The former UConn head coach disembarked a plane late Sunday to snow falling in Fort Collins. He was met by CSU administrators including president Amy Parsons and director of athletics John Weber.
The entourage then headed to Canvas Stadium where Mora was taken on a tour of the facility, including a snow-dusted Sonny Lubick Field, the locker room and his new office.
It was Mora’s first look at his new home as his interview for the position was held elsewhere.
“It’s awesome; It’s beautiful,” Mora said of the stadium in a video posted to X by CSU Football. “Wow, this is cool. I’ve seen pictures before. It’s better than I thought. It’s so great.”
While on the field, Mora took a minute to take a photo of the scoreboard, which featured a graphic welcoming him to Fort Collins, to send to his parents.
As he made his rounds from the field to the locker room to his office, he expressed multiple times how impressed he was with everything.
At CSU, Mora will be tasked with turning around a program that went 2-10 this past season. The Rams lost their season finale Friday to Air Force, 42-21. CSU fired Jay Norvell on Oct. 19 and, after naming Tyson Summers the interim head coach to finish out the season, began the search for a new coach, eventually choosing Mora.
Mora leaves a UConn program that went 9-3 this fall, the second straight nine-win season for the Huskies under the head coach. They finished their regular season Nov. 22 with a win over Florida Atlantic.
