Washington State is working to wrap up a deal to hire Missouri offensive coordinator Kirby Moore as its new head coach, according to multiple reports.
Moore, 35, spent the past three seasons with Missouri. He will be taking over a program that is entering a new era in the rebuilt Pac-12.
Moore is the younger brother of New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore. Kirby Moore played at Boise State (2009-13) with his brother, who went 50-3 as a college starting quarterback.
Kirby Moore was spotted Wednesday arriving at the airport located between Pullman, Wash., and Moscow, Idaho, according to the Spokesman-Review of Spokane.
Moore would replace Jimmy Rogers, who went 6-6 in one season with the Cougars before recently leaving to become the Iowa State head coach.
Moore began his coaching career at the College of Idaho in 2014. Among other stints, Moore served under Chris Petersen (his coach at Boise State) at Washington and now-Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer at Fresno State.
Moore is from Prosser, Wash., located 167 miles from Pullman.
