Before final week started last December, the University of Kansas Athletic Department was in urmilion. It had just lost Head Football Coach Don Fambrough—who resigned on Dec. 2—and it was being played by Coach and alumni for Fambrough's alleged ouster.
On Dec. 17, Robert Wayne "Bbd" Moore, an assistant for the past three years at Alabama and the Crimson Tide's offensive coordinator this past season, was named coach at KU. And since then, Moore said recently, the turnover has subsided somewhat.
"You can't just snap your fingers and have it all go away," Moore said. "It will be a long process and a lot of hard work, but we can do it better and more organized ground here."
Moore, 35, said that the job he had at Alabama working with Head Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant was the best assistant coaching job in the country, but that it wasn't a hard decision for him to come to KI!
"It wasn't hard to decide to leave," Moore said. "KU was what I was looking for. It has tremendous educational facilities, a good school, a fine city and money to build a winning football team."
Now that Moore is at KU, he hasn't wasted any time in setting up his idea of a good football program. This includes hiring a new set of assist coaches. This process was necessary for several reasons, according to Moore.
"First, you need people around you who think the same, to build a good football program," he said. "You need people who know the personnel and are familiar with
"Also, you need new blood in the program and also you want to give some coaches the training."
*Our goal was to hire the best assistants in the country. I feel we've gotten them so well.*
Moreh has hired seven assistant coaches

one or the biggest and most exciting changes Moore brings to KU is his knowledge of the wishbone offense and his plan to install it here in the near future.
"We can't say if we'll use it next year or not until we await the personnel we now have and the freshmen that will come in," Moore said. "There's a possibility that we fit the offense to the personnel and not the personnel to the offense."
Right now, Moore and his staff are in the middle of the recruiting process. The Big Eight letter of intent day is Feb. 4 and the national letter of intent day is Feb. 19. Moore and his assistants are working up to make up for time lost in setting up the staff.
"We're behind now, as recruits always are until signaled date," he said. "All of the people we've lost."
Moore said the number of prospects in Kansas was down and it was necessary to concentrate mostly on out-of-state as far away as New Jersey and California.
prospects."
Moore, who signed a four-year contract at a salary of $30,000 a year, was born in Jasper, Ala., and grew up in Birmingham. He was an all-state player in high school football and was recruited by nearly every Southeastern Conference school.
Moore played college football for Bear Bryant at Alabama from 1968 to 1960. After graduation, he was assistant head coach at Badsden (Ala.) High School, a year later, at Wesleyan University, where he football staff as both offensive and defensive line coach. He steved for three years.
He was on the Texas A & M staff as offensive coordinator for the next six years. The Aggies won the Southwest Conference championship and defeated Alabama in the 1988 Cotton Bowl.
More then wed to north Carolina. A year later, he went to Alabama where for a few years he backed up coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator this past season.
