Kirby Moore Hired as Head Football Coach at Washington State
Kirby Moore, Missouri's offensive coordinator, is expected to become Washington State University’s head coach, marking a significant coaching change for the 2026 football season.
- Reports from ESPN and CBS say Washington State will hire Missouri offensive coordinator Kirby Moore as the Cougars football program's next head coach on Friday.
- Kirby Moore, a Prosser, Washington native, has been Missouri's offensive coordinator for three seasons after being hired by Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz before 2023, helping the Tigers to 29 wins.
- Moore's résumé spans the College of Idaho, University of Washington and Fresno State, and he played wide receiver at Boise State; this is his first head-coaching job.
- Missouri is likely to soon search for a new offensive play caller and is expected to hire somebody before Jan. 2; Section 6.4.1.1 of Moore's contract means neither he nor Washington State owes Missouri liquidated damages.
- Washington State went 6-6 this year and will play Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 22, with Moore becoming the program's fifth head coach since 2019.
