The history of the Joe Moore Award.

Joe Moore is born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Moore coaches the offensive line at Pitt, developing All-Americans and future NFL Hall of Famers including Bill Fralic, Mark May, Russ Grimm, and Jimbo Covert.

Moore coaches the offensive line at Notre Dame, cementing his reputation as college football’s greatest O-line coach, 52 players sent to the NFL across his career.

Joe Moore dies of lung cancer, leaving a coaching legacy across Pitt, Temple, and Notre Dame.
