4. Jim Mora

Jim Mora is also close to finding his way off this list. The Bruins have only two tough losses on the season to good programs and if they can get on a roll, they will have a shot at the Pac-12 South. To get there, they have to win Saturday.

UCLA will take on Arizona State and if they lose, they will fall behind even further in the division standings. Mora doesn’t have to be perfect with the Bruins, but he has to deliver results. Falling behind a good deal halfway through the year is not going to do him any favors.

His Bruins have to take it to the Sun Devils and win this game. If they do, then they’ll inch closer back near the top of the standings. He’s done a solid job, but he needs to do a better one with all the talent he has.

UCLA is arguably coming off their best win of the season. They ran all over Arizona last week and have to like where they are at right now. Winner of this week’s game has a chance to jump into second place, depending upon what Colorado does at USC.
