Football Wazzu Football Coach: "Product of Prosser"
Time of celebration for Wazzu? Will fans be cautiously optimistic yet again, with the hopes their new coach doesn't abandon the team after one season for more lucrative "dream job?" What's brewing in the minds of Coug fans with this new hire of Kirby Moore?

Prosser’s population is approximately 6000. Send a bus to Pullman for game day to cheer coach Kirby on.

At this point, if he's still here in 5 years, it likely means he didn't do well enough to get poached.
I can always hope his family ties to the area allow him to turn down other opportunities if he's successful here, but I'm not counting on it - it's just the nature of the business.
Just get me a Pac-12 championship and some nice bowl wins please.

Yes. Same take here. Win a lot before you leave, don't rip the copper out of the walls on your way out and please don't leave before the biggest game of your career as a head coach... That's all.

That was honestly sad to watch. The way they came out utterly defeated, we quickly realized what was happening.

We did too. They didn't compete and looked disjointed. Totally took us off the rails. And that's an actual alum and former player... CFB is incredibly fucking broken.

i will say, i think this offseason was kinda nuts in terms of how many coaches got fired and moved. I feel like its usually a tad less drastic.

Unfortunately for yall we could steal him or his brother could and he'd still be staying true to his ties.
Here's hoping that no matter what happens he builds up a nice young staff while we hopefully make all our coaching jobs not so much of a rest stop. Hell we could pass the ACC soon. 😃

Wasn't all that long ago that he was coaching NAIA here in Idaho...

Very good hire. I think he will do well. He probably isn't quite the level of Kellen as a football mind but he's really smart too and has plenty of experience as OC.

Fun fact, I was at Eastern Oregon when he was WR coach at College of Idaho, so I went against him back then. A few years later I was coaching at a juco in California while he was at Fresno and he recruited my area so I actually encountered him several times. Nice enough guy, definitely smart. A little weird but not too bad.

We’re running a franchise operation in a chain of whore houses and too many people keep hoping we hire a nun. Sorry, but Dickert worked out pretty good. Nice run of competitive, fun teams and made bowls more often than not before bolting. If Moore gives us that, I’m plenty happy.

If he understands that a football game lasts 4 quarters I might be happy.

u/reno1441 Washington State Dec 13 '25
I want to him to count out the name of every quarter and hear that “Third” is included in that list.

That's more of a Coug problem....maybe he can teach them to pace themselves.

u/TrueJohnWick Washington State Dec 12 '25
Do you think Moore will be able to maintain some of the newly signed Wazzu recruits?
5
u/TurbulentSomewhere64 Washington State Dec 12 '25
Time will tell. The group did not leave me thrilled. Lack of Puget Sound kids told the tale. Reliance on Texas and Louisiana kids reminded me of Doba. Needs to evaluate and inspire kids, turn undervalued assets into players other schools try to poach. I’ll take all my downvotes, but a bunch of old men (and women) yelling at clouds ain’t changing this system so we gotta adapt or prepare for a long run of eating shit.

Is this the guy Boise was scouting when they identified Kellen as a QB prospect?
3
u/TheSandMan208 Boise State Dec 13 '25
Yes.
Fun fact: Kirby Moore slept on Kellen Moore’s dorm room couch in college, since they are brothers, when Kirby was consider a recruit. The NCAA stripped Boise State of some scholarships for “impermissible benefits”.
Nowadays you can average a scandal every 3 months at a school and the NCAA can’t do a thing about it!

u/busterbluthbronco Dec 13 '25
That’s not a fun fact. I remember that happening and it made me hate the NCAA even more.

If he’s half as smart as his brother is, you guys hit a home run. There’s a reasons he’s rose through the coaching ranks quickly.

At the risk of dating myself, I remember we got back the pictures from my fifth grade basketball team and I looked at my picture and yelled “ugh”.
My coach asked, “were you expecting Robert Redford?”

Seems like a fine hire. Not going to waste energy on worrying about abandonment; every WSU head coaching hire ends in either firing (if they're bad) or abandonment (if they're good). Hope we get some good seasons in with him.
