Jim Mora deletes Twitter account, fuels NFL coaching rumors

Jim Mora has reinvented himself with the UCLA Bruins, but with the NFL calling him once again it’s likely that he makes the jump back to the pros.

UCLA head coach Jim Mora Jr was once a rising star in the NFL but he flamed out quickly with the Atlanta Falcons, bottomed out with the Seattle Seahawks and was outcast as a failure. After reinventing himself in college at UCLA, the NFL is once again calling Mora and he’s looking like a top candidate on the market.

Mora hasn’t stated whether he’s eyeing a job in the NFL or if he’s staying at UCLA, but by saying nothing at all Mora is only fueling the rumors that he’s leaving for the pros. Something else that helps fuel rumors he’s leaving for the pros was the deletion of Mora’s Twitter account.

On Saturday, Jim Mora deleted his Twitter account which further fueled rumors that he’s eyeing a jump to the NFL.

Usually someone deletes their Twitter account after tweeting out something embarrassing but this wasn’t the case with Mora. He had an altercation with Bill Snyder after the Bruins played the Kansas State Wildcats, but he praised Snyder as a coach and a man afterwards.

Instead, this deletion of Jim Mora’s Twitter account is being seen as a sign that Mora may be getting ready to jump to the NFL. For college coaches, Twitter is a recruiting tool, and Mora deleting his could be a preemptive strike against getting flamed with hate tweets over leaving UCLA.

Of course, this is what the world has come to when the deletion of a Twitter account has spurred a slew of speculation about his future. He is drawing interest from the San Francisco 49ers and will likely get calls from other teams like the Falcons — again — as well as the Raiders and possibly even the Chicago Bears.
