Jim Mora, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich fight on UCLA sidelines (Video)
UCLA’s blowout 42-30 loss at home against Oregon on Saturday can be summed up by this video of UCLA coaches Jim Mora and Jeff Ulbrich getting into a fight on the sidelines.
The Bruins struggled to stop the Ducks offense, allowing four rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns on 468 total yards. Mora and Ulbrich had their argument after Oregon went down the field in the second quarter on a 9-play, 72-yard touchdown drive to make it 15-3.
Mora, whose background is as a defensive coordinator, was obviously dissatisfied with the team’s defense against the Ducks. A frustrated Ulbrich stalked Mora on the sidelines and even was seen handing his play sheet to the head coach:
Mora tried to calm down Ulbrich and the two appeared to somewhat kiss and make up. After the game, Mora tried to downplay things, too.
Jim Mora said it would be stupid to read anything into his sideline argument w/ DC Jeff Ulbrich. Competitive nature of their relationship.

Ulbrich also expressed disappointment with himself for the incident.
Jeff Ulbrich, on his sideline argument w/ Jim Mora: "I can't do that. That's not a good message for my players. I gotta handle it better."
