Former New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Mora celebrated his 90th birthday on Sunday, but you wouldn’t know it if you spotted him on the streets.
Jim Mora coached in the NFL for 15 seasons, beginning with the Saints in 1986. He stayed there for 10 years before resigning during the 1996 season and then coached Indianapolis from 1998 to 2001.
Mora posted a 125-106 record over his 15 years as head coach. He turned the Saints and Colts, two longtime losing franchises, into playoff teams. He oversaw the development of Peyton Manning, whom Indianapolis took first overall in 1998 after hiring Mora.
Mora’s son, Jim L. Mora, posted a video of his dad working out extensively in the gym. The younger Mora wrote that his father does two 85-minute weight lifting sessions a week, and the results are showing:
My dad, @bigjimmora turned 90 yesterday. This is the last set of a 85 minute weight lifting session he does 2 times a week, along with @onepeloton 3 times a week. Don’t ever stop moving, don’t ever let the old man in, it’s a mindset! @Saints @NFL pic.twitter.com/sxeB9Bud54

Mora has mostly kept a low profile since his coaching career ended 23 years ago. But it’s good to see that the NFL icon is still in tremendous shape and looking after himself in the golden years.
