Why 87-Year-Old Tom Moore Is EXACTLY What Iowa Football Needs

The Iowa Hawkeyes football are catching plenty of attention for bringing 87-year-old football lifer Tom Moore into the program as a consultant — but this episode explains why it’s actually a brilliant move for Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes. In this episode, we break down why experience still matters in college football, how Moore’s decades of NFL and college knowledge can help Iowa’s offense evolve, and why younger staffs across the sport often overlook the value of institutional football wisdom. From quarterback development to offensive structure and situational football, Moore brings insight that can’t simply be learned overnight. Plus, we discuss why Iowa doesn’t need to become flashy to win — it just needs to become smarter and more efficient offensively. If you’re tired of hearing that every coaching hire has to be “young” and “innovative,” this episode is for you.
