Former Troy offensive line coach Matt Moore enters his first season at Texas Tech and will spearhead the coaching efforts for the Red Raiders' front five. Moore is no stranger to the Mike Leach offense and wide line splits as he has coached in the scheme on the high school level for several years. Moore comes to Tech with one year of collegiate coaching experience at Troy, where he helped lead the Trojans to an 8-5 season in 2006, including a New Orleans Bowl Championship over Rice. Moore's stint on the collegiate level was preceded by successful runs as a coach at the high school level in Georgia and Alabama, where he quickly established himself as a top prep coach. During six seasons as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Hoover (Ala.) High School, Moore helped lead the Buccaneers to three-consecutive Class 6A titles and a 77-7 record. He began his coaching career at Pickens (Ga.) High School in 1996 and continued at Hoover High School after two seasons. Moore served as head coach at North Gwinnett (Ga.) High School, before joining the staff at Troy. A native of Canton, Ga., Moore played at Valdosta (Ga.) State, where Leach was the offensive coordinator. He started 34 games during the 1991-94 seasons at left guard and was a first-team All-Gulf South Conference selection as a senior. Moore received his bachelor's degree from VSU in health and physical education. He and his wife, Kelly, have three daughters - Tanner (6), Reece (4) and Sutton (1). |
