He certainly did. But let's be honest. Had the football team's fortunes not improved the way they did, his tenure would not be viewed as successful. At least not the way it is viewed today.
Thank goodness that didn't happen or we'd be seeing banners hanging off beach condo's and web-sites popping up with fans and students calling for his head on a platter right now.

You don't have to get bent out of shape because someone says the football program made Moore look good.
I'm not saying he was a bad athletic director. I think he was an excellent athletic director, actually. But in this state, and at this university, the success of the entire department is ultimately viewed through the lens of the football program. Had the football program not been as successful as it is Moore's tenure would be viewed differently.
