Tom Moore, 87, Returns to Iowa as Senior Consultant and Offensive Adviser

The four-time Super Bowl assistant brings NFL-tested ideas to help Kirk Ferentz sharpen Iowa’s offense.

Overview

  • The hire, which Kirk Ferentz announced Tuesday, places Moore in an advisory role to the head coach and the offense.
  • Moore lettered at Iowa as a quarterback and kicker in 1959–60 and started his coaching career there as a graduate assistant in 1961–62.
  • This is his first college post since 1976, marking a full-circle return to his alma mater after five decades in the NFL.
  • He is best known as Peyton Manning’s longtime offensive coordinator with the Colts and most recently consulted for the Buccaneers from 2019 to 2025 while collecting four Super Bowl rings across his career.
  • Ferentz said Moore will share his wisdom with coaches and players, a move aimed at injecting pro-level teaching into a program seeking more consistent offensive production.
