UCLA fired head coach Jim Mora, the university’s athletic director Dan Guerrero announced Sunday.

The Bruins had a 46-30 record under Mora, a former Falcons head coach. However, UCLA was 17-19 since 2015. The university made the decision after UCLA fell to USC Saturday 28-23.

Mora coached the Falcons from 2004-06. The former NFL head coach led the Falcons to a 26-22 record in three seasons. He also coached the Seahawks in 2009. He was hired by UCLA in December of 2011.
