Ferentz adds Tom Moore to staff

[longtimer]

Not sure what his duties will be. Maybe just a grandfatherly influence

Anyone who goes to work for a P5 football program in any capacity at age eighty f*ckin seven years old loves the game of football and is a savage human being by default

We also now have a football coach on this staff older than all the members of the Rolling Stones.

This situation reminds me of the contractor's crew that rebuilt our house a couple of years ago.

One of the crew that would show up was a guy probably in his early/mid 80s. After several weeks, it became apparent that we had to inspect whatever project he was assigned due to quality errors.

After we inquired, we found out that he was the crew chief's dad who had been doing carpentry for like 60 years. Out of respect, his son kept him on just so he would continue to feel useful and needed.

As the homeowners having to put up with his mistakes, that obviously put us into a bit of an awkward position. Complaining about his mistakes just didn't feel right, but, at the same time, I'm sure we were being charged the labor rate when his work had to be redone.

Werther's are the new butterscotches, but fantastic job nonetheless.

I read where Moore saw Tracy in his early years at Iowa and said he'd make a good RB. Tracy wanted to play WR instead of playing behind Goodson. Low and behold Tracy becomes an NFL RB.

Tom Moore was the placekicker on the great Evy teams at Iowa in 1959 and 1960. Made lots of extra points and field goals, I believe.

Also was a back-up QB, but didn't play very much at that position.
