Tom Moore offensive coordinator Indy (1 Viewer)

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Is he just to old now? Or does he not want to do anything else?

Sure he can thank his QB and give him a lot of credit, but he has a system in place that is obviously highly effective and he seems like he could have what it takes or would be a good head coach.

What is the deal?

 

[Moonlight_Graham]

He chose not to long ago. He's happy where he's at and what he's doing.

 

[Grimace59]

I think I read or heard something way back that Moore never really had any interest in becoming a head coach, so on teams even pursued him, but i may be wrong.

 

[jeter23]

He's old

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

He looks older than Al Davis.

Peyton Manning is the OC in Indy. Hope that helps.

Seriously - Moore doesn't even call plays, he makes suggestions.

Prior to getting Peyton Manning as his QB, and all the success that has followed, Moore's biggest claim to fame may have been getting fired for Joe Walton.

JOE F-ING WALTON!

(Okay, he had that one really big year in Detroit as an OC, but other than that the first thing I thought of was that the Steelers canned him for "Double Tight End McGee" back in the day.)

Not true. Moore calls the play, but Manning can either run the called play or choose from another.

Not true. Moore calls the play, but Manning can either run the called play or choose from another.

So, what you're saying is, Moore is suggesting which plays to run, but Manning has carte blanche to do what he wishes?Cuz that sounds like Manning is calling the plays.

With the way good corrdinators are getting paid these days, I think you will find many more "career coordinators" over the next decade or so (unless something changes with the pay scale). These guys make 1 million+ and do not have to deal with the headaches that HCs do, plus, they seem to have the ability to retread even better than HCs (which we always make fun of here...see Chan Gailey). I think Ted Cottrell is "not so good", yet the dude seems to pop up somehwere else each year.

From a lifestyle/family standpoint, I hear the wear and tear is a lot less and these guys actually get to see their families. While they may leave a lot of money on the table, ask a guy like Rick Kotite whether he regrets becoming a HC. He could have been a coordinator for years, yet he now lives in infamy.

In an interview last year, Moore said (which Moonlight was paraphrasing), "I dont call in plays to Peyton. I make suggestions... ".It's more of a collaborative effort. So yes, Moore calls something in, and based on what he sees at the line, Manning has final say.

I think the system works for them, don't you?

This isnt the interview, but it gives you an idea how they run things.

Is this that much different from guys like Brady, Brees, Favre etc.?

Manning has more control over the play calling than Brady, Brees, or Favre.

A good percentage of the money and a small fraction of the headache. Doesn't hurt to have that offense, either. In Tampa, Monte Kiffin was never enamored with a head coaching gig, either. If his son hadn't decided to go on his cross-country college coaching tour, he'd probably still be with the Buccaneers.

He's 71 years old, and had long ago stopped pursuing head coaching jobs.

it's an easy gig in Indy, all he has to do is show up for work, Peyton does the rest.

Yes, I'm surprised we don't see him in a lawnchair on the sidelines sipping a cup of coffee.
