57. Jerry Moore, 242-135-2
North Texas (1979-80; 11-11), Texas Tech (1981-85; 16-37-2) and Appalachian State (1989-2012; 215-87)
When Texas Tech fired Moore in 1985, he feared his coaching career might be over. He spent three years working for a real estate developer until Arkansas hired him as an assistant in 1988. The Mountaineers hired him in 1989, and he won 215 games and three consecutive FCS national titles from 2005-07. Moore won 10 conference titles and made 18 playoff appearances with the Mountaineers. Of course, he might be best known for Appalachian State's stunning 34-32 upset of No. 5 Michigan at the Big House in 2007.

Re: ESPN 150 greatest coaches
One of the things that amazes me about Coach Moore was his willingness to scrap everything he knew and had done offensively in football and at a fairly "advanced" age made a bold decision and switched to the Spread. He then focused on getting players with speed instead of size that fit that scheme and...well...it's been a helluva ride. I know that's an over-simplification but...Thank You Coach Moore!

Re: ESPN 150 greatest coaches
Fun to look at but I never take a lot of stock in lists like this. So many eras with different rules, cultures, pre/post segregation, pre/post WWII, Pre/post the modern air out offense, too many things to consider for this.
Then you got guys like Jim Tressell all the way down at 35? There are a number of examples like him who were very successful and at the top of multiple divisions throughout their careers behind people like Dabo. Dabo has had some great success but what makes so many of these guys great is how long they kept their success up.
