Head Coach, Jim Mora Jr.
Jim Mora is a defensive minded coach that we feel can lead the Polar Bears to a championship sometime in the near future. Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons from 2004-06. He compiled a 26-22 (.542) record during his three years in Atlanta. The defense, which ranked dead last the year before, improved to 14th overall en route to leading the league with a franchise-record 48 quarterback sacks. Mora's defense held opposing offenses to zero points in the first quarter nine times, and also led the league in rushing defense (167.0 ypg). Mora joined the Falcons from the San Francisco 49ers where he spent seven seasons (1997-03), including the last five as defensive coordinator. His last two seasons, Mora's defense finished no worse than fourth in the NFC against the run and in 2003, the 49ers recorded 36 takeaways, their most since 1997. In addition, at least one player from Mora's defense was named to the Pro Bowl in four of his last five seasons as defensive coordinator.
Offensive Coordinator, Mike Dunbar
Mike Dunbar is an offensive genius that always seems to build up a great offense wherever he goes that we feel will do the same for the Polar Bears. Under Dunbar’s direction as offensive coordinator, Cal ranked 12th in the nation in total offense in 2006 and was ranked among the top 35 in the country in both passing offense (17th) and rushing offense (33rd). Dunbar’s offense also averaged 32.8 points per game, which was 11th in the nation for scoring offense.Prior to joining the Cal staff, Dunbar coached at Northwestern from 2001-05, the last four years serving as offensive coordinator. As offensive coordinator at Northwestern, the Wildcats ranked fourth in the country in total offense in 2005, averaging 500.3 yards per game to become just the second team in the history of the Big Ten to generate at least 500 yards per game. He tutored Northwestern quarterback Brett Basanez, who set 30 Northwestern offensive records and finished second in Big Ten history to Drew Brees in career passing yards (10,580), total offense (11,576) and completions (913). In 2005, Basanez set Northwestern season records for passing yards (3,622), total offense (4,027), completions (314) and touchdown passes (21). Dunbar’s offense would also set Sun Bowl records for total yards (584) and first downs (33) in 2005 against UCLA.
Defensive Coordinator, Mike Zimmer
Mike Zimmer is a defensive master-mind that we feel can build up a great defense here in Antarctica. Mike Zimmer enters his first season with the club after spending the past 13 years with the Dallas Cowboys, including the last seven years as Defensive Coordinator. During his time in Dallas, Zimmer established himself as one of the NFL's top defensive minds with a fundamentally sound and aggressive scheme. After joining the staff in 1994, he was promoted to Defensive Coordinator in 2000. In seven of his 13 years with the club, the Cowboys ranked in the top 10 in total defense and pass defense, while advancing to the postseason seven times. Prior to assuming the Defensive Coordinator post, Zimmer directed the Cowboys Secondary that was one of the league's best throughout the second half of the 1990's.

Pannunzio, 46, has coached for the last 25 years coaching in college football, steadily rising the ranks from a star player at Southern Colorado to head coach.
