Upon hearing the news of UCLA firing football coach Jim Mora Sunday morning, many future, current and former Bruin players took to social media to commend Mora for his tenure in Westwood.

Freshman defensive end Jaelan Phillips, senior defensive back Jaleel Wadood and sophomore defensive tackle Boss Tagaloa all praised Mora for his passion for football.

Former Bruin Takkarist McKinley, a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons, posted about the program’s success in producing NFL players during Mora’s time at UCLA.

Many other players, both current and former Bruins, thanked Mora for being their coach.

 

 

Some Bruins merely expressed shock at the decision.

Even some UCLA commits weighed in on the firing.
