and let's not forget the botched Fran situation (don't think he actually hired franchione, but the way he left was a big black eye)... hiring/firing mike price... hiring/firing mike shula... and pretty well botched the coaching search in 2006.
He did oversee the extensive expansion of BDS, and the move away from Legion Field... you could argue those moves would've happened anyway, but no doubt he was instumental in making them happen.

Hopefully Battle isn't close to Wendell.

Franchione wasn't a bad hire at all...not Moore's fault that Franchione bailed.
Price was clearly a bad hire. Moore just didn't do his homework on Price. Lot's of folks in Pullman knew that Price liked to drink a lot, hang out in bars, and flirt with college girls.
Shula wasn't a bad hire because the only other option at the time was Sylvester Croom. In a way you could say it was a bad hire because it was the consequence of hiring Price, but in and of itself Shula was the best option at the time. Shula ended up being a pretty decent caretaker who got the program through probation and on a stable footing so it could be appealing to a guy like Saban.
