Nov. 26 (UPI) -- UConn's Jim Mora will leave head coach job to accept that position at Colorado State, Huskies athletic director David Benedict announced Wednesday.
Benedict said offensive coordinator Gordie Sammis will serve as interim coach while the Huskies conduct a national search for a permanent replacement.
"We appreciate coach Mora's contributions to our many achievements on the gridiron, including 27 wins and bowl game eligibility in three of the last four years, along with back-to-back, nine-win seasons for the first time ever," Benedict said in a news release.
"The accomplishments reflect the strength of our UConn brand, and a confidence that this program can continue to be a source of great pride for the citizens of our state and Husky fans everywhere."
