Currently the OL coach and co offensive coordinator at Troy.  Had a good run at La. Tech before that under Holtz. Key to all this is he coached the OL at Tech while Littrell was running backs coach there and they had good teams.  Would he leave Troy to rejoin Littrell?  Does Littrell want to bring in a guy who isn't from and hasn't been recruiting Texas lately? Interesting.

Moore’s offensive lines at Texas Tech led the country in fewest sacks per pass attempt in 2007 and 2008. The Red Raiders allowed a sack once every 54 pass attempts in 2008 behind an offensive line that featured three All-Americans in Rylan Reed, Brandon Carter and Louis Vasquez. His 2007 unit allowed a sack once every 44 attempts.
 
Texas Tech won the NCAA passing title in 2007 as the Red Raiders averaged 470.3 yards per game through the air, while quarterback Graham Harrell led the nation in passing and won the Sammy Baugh Award as the country’s top quarterback.
 
Behind Moore’s offensive line, Texas Tech finished with 28 rushing touchdowns in 2008, which was the second-most in school history. The Red Raiders picked up another NCAA passing title that season as Harrell led an offense that accumulated 413.2 yards per game through the air. Harrell went on to win the Unitas Award and was fourth in Heisman voting at season’s end.
 
Texas Tech averaged over eight wins per season during Moore’s tenure and the Red Raiders played in four bowl games. Texas Tech won three of those bowl games – the 2008 Gator Bowl, 2010 Alamo Bowl and the 2011 TicketCity Bowl – with the lone loss coming in the Cotton Bowl during its 11-2 season in 2008.

He and Littrell were at Tech at different times.  He was under Tuberville, Littrell was under Leach.

EDIT: Not so sure about that.  The bio at the Tech website is different from the Troy website.

EDIT #2: Never mind.  I'm an idiot.

“We had some issues with inexperience and just not being very good last year,” Seth (Littrell) said. “In the offseason I got with our offensive line coach (Matt Moore) and went over when things like what schemes versus which fronts and got everything on the same page. We were young last year and that showed too.

      If you are paying attention, these will be revenue generators in short order. I often wondered why Schlossnagle left TCU for A&M, but this makes it all make sense and I think he is ahead of his time. Why can't we be a visionary just once? We need alumni and an administration that feels the same way. Coaches need to push the AD, the AD needs to push the President, they all need to push the BOR and they all need to set the vision and push our alumni. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/40239132/texas-baseball-national-powerhouse-grand-expensive-vision

      I like the current location. If they want to centralize, then I would pick either Nashville or Atlanta.

      Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.

      I agree with you. But I guess my question is whether a different, higher level would exist in the non-power setup. IOW, are TCU, Baylor, SMU, UH, Tulane, and others creating a level of play that wouldn't include schools like ours? I'd seriously doubt that they could do that. Maybe they wouldn't let us play them and keep us from being in a conference with them, but I'd think that we would be able to play at this hypothetical scenario. Maybe our conference setup would be with other regional teams outside of Texas' old SWC teams again, but I'd imagine we would still be on equal footing with those schools.

      Well, NFL team fire coaches after losing season, why wouldn't their NFL-lite programs? When these top 24-48 teams breakaway, my guess is that they will reorganize around geography again and have 4-8 divisions that play a wildcard playoff system like the NFL does. For those that don't make the playoffs, the other bowls will setup games for these teams to play each other in a traditional ending for many teams. Sure, A&M may schedule spares now, but when the breakoff occurs and they play Texas, OU, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Auburn as Division mates every year, while playing Washington, Michigan State, and Virgina Tech in OOC, their fans might get mad at 7-5, but the university will make so much more because all of their games are ones that people will pay to go see, networks will pay hugely to broadcast, and the players from HS up to non-power level college will drool over the payments and attention that they will get, which would dwarf anything we are seeing even today. They don't need G5/FCS wins because teams today are opting out of spare bowl games because they know the players don't want to play in them. The CFB world needs an enema, badly. It got way to fat, both at the top levels of the sport, as well as in the sheer number of FCS schools who moved up to FBS just to get paid more by playing more OOC games, which fans of the big schools and their networks absolutely hate with a passion.
