It was the contacts she made while (interning) with the Rams that brought the opportunity to take a job as the assistant defensive line coach at Dartmouth College last season and also gave her an intro at UConn.
"I sent Coach Mora a resume when he got the job here and I had been cold texting him," she says. "Then I got enough people who I knew that he knew to mention my name and I knew some of the staff that he hired.
"I came to visit and kind of just rolled into his office and said, 'Hey I just want to introduce myself.' I had all this Dartmouth gear on, and he said 'Who are you? What are you?' I said, 'I'm the assistant D-line coach at Dartmouth,' and he did the face that everyone does and said, 'You are?' "Mora remembers the first meeting."I wasn't taken aback by the fact that she was a woman," he says with a chuckle. "I was really surprised that Dartmouth had an assistant D-line coach."
But the UConn coach quickly realized he should learn more about Grace.
"With certain people, the minute they walk into your life, you can sense something special about them," Mora explains. "Maybe this is a little outrageous at this point in Mickey's career, but Dan Quinn (former Atlanta Falcons' head coach and current defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys) came into my life when he was about the same age as Mickey. I was defensive coordinator for the 49ers and Dan came out for an interview for a quality control position, much like Mickey is doing, and the second I met him, I thought. 'Yeah, there's something special about him.' And I have to say, I revisited the same feeling that I had with Dan when I met Mickey. Sometimes, you just get a feeling about people."

EXTRA POINT
On our ill-fated drive up to Burlington to watch the movie CODA, we stopped at the East Corinth General Store and no, we didn't buy ammunition. But neither did we buy any gas. With a few crusty Vermont old-timers standing outside having a chat, I parked well away from the pumps while Mrs. BGA ventured inside to get something for our breakfast.
With the back window of our EV covered with dirt, I wandered over to grab a squeegee and proceeded to clean it off. Honestly, I found myself thinking about this commercial and wondering if the fellows by the door might be thinking the same thing.
