Westlake Village Oaks Christian held a charity golf tournament Monday, and one of the prizes auctioned was the chance to coach the football team for a week.
The winning bid went to Jim Mora, former coach of the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts and a friend of Oaks Christian Coach Bill Redell.
Asked how much responsibility he'll relinquish to Mora, Redell said, "He's awfully conservative, but I'll try to work with him."

Greg Folk, a sophomore at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame who's considered among the top soccer players in Southern California, said he probably will accept a scholarship offer from U.S. Soccer and move to Florida this summer to train full-time with the under-17 national team.
Folk will attend the Edison Academics Center in Bradenton, Fla., and take accelerated classes so he can graduate in June 2004.
He was the punter on Notre Dame's Division III championship football team. Look for all the top college soccer programs on the West Coast to accelerate their recruiting of Folk.

Former Newhall Hart High and California quarterback Kyle Boller stopped by College of the Canyons in Valencia on Monday to loosen up his arm for NFL workouts.
His arm strength was amazing. He was tossing 70-yard spirals with little strain. He has been running 40 yards in 4.59 seconds. There's speculation he could be taken in the top 10 picks of the NFL draft next month.
