Wilford H. Moore (November 20, 1919 – January 21, 2014) was an American football coach. He was the highest winning coach in McMurry Indians football history and had the McMurry football stadium named in his honor.〔(McMurry renames football and track stadium to Wilford Moore Stadium )〕 A native of Littlefield, Texas, Moore earned his physical education degree from Hardin–Simmons University in 1941. He was an assistant coach at Abilene High in the fall of 1941, but joined the United States Army Air Corps on December 9 following the attack on Pearl Harbor. After returning from World War II, he served as an assistant in 1946 at McMurry and then became the head coach the next year, coaching at McMurry from 1947 to 1955. Moore coached the Indians to a 45–28–5 record and led them to the Oleander Bowl in 1949. Moore later coached at Lubbock High School, Port Neches-Groves High School and Cleburne High School before returning to Abilene, Texas in 1972 where he has lived ever since. At Hardin–Simmons, he played alongside Bulldog Turner, who later starred for the Chicago Bears in the NFL. At McMurry he coached players like Les Cowan, Brad Rowland and Grant Teaff.〔(Players pay tribute to coaching great )〕 Moore was the only person to be inducted into the athletic halls of fame at both Hardin–Simmons University and McMurry University.〔(Moore is only due Hall-of-Famer for HSU and McMurry )〕 Since Moore played for Hardin-Simmons and coached at McMurry, both schools created a trophy named in his honor for the crosstown game.〔(HSU and McMurry create Wilford Moore trophy for crosstown game )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilford Moore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
