NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Atlanta Falcons on Friday gave head coach Jim Mora a three-year contract extension through the 2009 season, the club said on its website.
Mora, 44, who enters his third season at the helm of the Falcons, has posted an overall record of 20-14.
"We're delighted Jim is our head coach, and we want him to be a part of our long-term success," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement.
Mora steered Atlanta to the NFC South division title in 2004 with an 11-5 record in his first season in charge, and won a playoff game before losing to NFC champions Philadelphia Eagles.
The Falcons last season were 8-8, losing their last three games to fall out of playoff contention.
