Moore, 37, the newest member of the staff is the Senior Director of Recruiting and High School Relations. I'm surprised that Coach Sumlin reached out to someone he had never worked with for this position, but Moore looks like a high energy guy who is anxious to help build a program recruit by recruit. The Star had an article on Thursday about Moore and here is the elevator speech on why he got the job -
Moore is well traveled and we hired him away from Georgia Tech. He does not have any local ties, so while he works on next year's class he will need to build relationships with Arizona high school coaches. Tip from the peanut gallery - Moore needs to get his bio up on the official site so when a coach, recruit, parent, or middle aged guy obsessed by Arizona football wants to find out about him Moore is the one telling the story.“When we started looking into him, we got mutual recommendations from people,” Polian (associate athletic director for football) said. “Then when you go through his background and you see that he’s essentially self-made; he’s coached, so he’s had to recruit; he’s GA’d (served as a graduate assistant), so he knows the workload, sacrifice and time you have to commit; and he has worked his way up at every level — we really liked that.”
98 is the yards rushing Bam (Darrius) Smith had last year on 23 carries to be our 4th leading rusher.
